Question: I was scratched by my dog last summer. I have 3 places on my arm and one on my neck. I have boxer dogs. They love to jump and I am from az. with very thin skin. Too much sun. I have been picking white plugs out of the places on my skin for the past year. I have also tryed to heal my skin with no response for weeks at a time without touching the things. There is a circular line around each one. I can use tweezers to pull them off. What in the heck do I have? I have seen a dermotologist for this. He basically said that I was nuts. He wraped my arm in a zinc wrap (hard) for a week. The place healed and then a week later was seeping and hurting. I am emabarrased to go back to a dermotologist but I really cant take this anymore. Do you have any thoughts about what this might be? YYYY@YYYY (P.S. I really am sane)I was also given a steroid ointment that burned like crazy. It did nothing.
