Hi,Good Evening.Thanks for the query to HCM.I studied it in depth and I understood your health concerns.
-Treatment-for blood filled lumps on wrist and body-
1- Mostly it appears to be -Herpes type 2 with complicated blister filled skin rash with super-added-bacterial infection of the herpes blisters.
2-Cause is due to the sexually trasmitted herpes type-2 -which you already have infection.
3-Bacterial culture from the abscesses or from the blisters would fix the type of the bacteria causing it -mostly staphylococcus.
4-So the answer to your query is YES-herpes type 2 blisters can cause abscesses.
5-The one your wrist-is hard -meaning the harifollicular infection with cellulitis-as the blisters usually progress to pustules due to infection and indicates low immunity.
Dont get scared and uneasy,but be cautious and act fast.
Hope this would help you a lot to relieve you.
Wish you fast recovery-and healthy life.
Wellcome to HCM with more queries till you are satisfied.
Have a Good Day...!!
