Hi
It would have been best if you could have loaded a picture of the lesion
You see dermatology is a visual branch, in that the lesion needs to be seen so as to make the diagnosis.
If you could load a picture we could make the diagnosis more accurately.
There are 2 possibilities that I foresee.
1. an infection- may be you are getting it from your partner. You took cefixime and that seemed to help you. I would suggest the same therefore. However Doxycycline may be more appropriate.
2. microtrauma- the size of the lesions, if small, could also indicate microtrauma. no medicines need to be taken in this situation
Best of luck
