Hi I have brown like sores that appear to look like cigarette burn. I have 4 and they almost look like a scab but when I play with. The brown scab like skin falls off and then it is sore. Today I noticed a clear blister on arm with puss it has the same shape and now looks like it will turn brown- it s getting darker Only one seems to be irritating me (which is the one I rubbed).
Hi. As per your case history you are having furuncles which form scabs on healing. My treatment advice is - 1. Don't squeeze the lesions as it may worsen the condition. 2. Apply a mild antibiotic cream like fusiderm cream twice daily on it. 3. Take a NSAID like ibuprofen for 5 days. 4. Other treatment options are oral antibiotics like levofloxacin, cefadroxil and azithromycin taken only after consulting a dermatologist.
Thanks. Dr. Harshit bhachech. MBBS, DDVL.
