And after 2 weeks I'd really nad infection on all over my back .doctor said its a fungul infection and it will take 6 weeks. It was reaaly itchy and all dark black scars or circles on my back . And after some days it spread on my arms. My elbows and my neck. Then my legs. I went to gp.and doc told me its like follicolitis.he gave me some cream. After one month my back was fine .there was no scars even. But my arms and legs were full of spots. One doc told me its infection je gave me antibiotics for 7 days. I asked them to reffer me to a dermatologist but they didnt. After 2 months he told me that its eczema and it uncureable.
