Scabbing

[Tyza]

I was at malaysia for 3 years... was pretty much fine ... during that last month i stayed there, i stopped working at my job, and stayed at my grandmas... not sure what it was, as i am a frequent computer user, but i contracted some really itchy bites, im pretty sure it was normal, one of those that might persist after a month or so... then i went back to NZ , those bites got a little worse ... anyway half of them healed.. the rest kind of scabbed up massively .. its been around 5 months now .. some of the scabs are getting bigger and not healing .... then a month ago ... the bottom part of my thigh started having little red spots... and they started growing and now i have up to 7 big round scabs under my thigh area ...simultaneously all of the  random injuries i would get would end up being massive scabs ... cuts are not included so im not sure as to the nature of all the other injuries... but the problem is , i have been to the GP and they have tried precribing me for scabbies, which  thought was very unusual , regardless it did not work . Its getting uncomfortable now , i am unable to sleep at night as it itches really bad ... as the scabs grew bigger im getting quite worried .... ive had my blood tested for diabetes.. it was a negative.  So far it hasnt really spread... only within the areas... which is under my thighs (multiple scabs) lower shins, 1 scab under my left arm, 1 scab on top of my left arm .

I totally forgot until that random reply on my  post, I have atopy? Dermatitis and it appears im alergic to a few things now, including birds eye chilli, it was infected and it was treated but the rashes and the wet surface from rashes comes and goes whenever i trigger and alergy. Life is all well. Thanks guys

its been a weak and it doesn look like it is getting much better, it has been a lot dryer though ... having another appointment with a gp against tommorow, i just wished they could have solved this problem rather than me having to go back multiple times, ive had samples taken twice.. no word from doctors. SHould i go to the hospital..? i have an updated pic but i cant seem to find another way to attach it rather than to make a new post

Should settle with antibiotic.Best wishes.

another update.. strange little yellow pus dots have appeared... left leg now semi swollen.. hope anti biotics will work by tommorow

went to the gp today, they took a sample ,
suspect i have something called impetigo , under treatment now ... lets see how that goes.. i really just want to get better . Irritation is starting to effect me, so bad that i no longer have even half the urge to scratch it to me now . Anyway they took the sample to consult a dermatologist, lets hope i get some good solid results.

Also should it cause a diagnostic problem, a biopsy may be indicated.

Itch, pleasure, infection eczema cycle as it is known helps in spread of eczema(dermatitis). For example an infection primarily by a pathogenic bacteria spreads via the itch pleasure factor as an auto-infection.
Antibiotics break the infection part, antihistamines the itch and topical steroids the pleasure itch cycle.
Do consult doc.

and how do they usually start? problem is they take a long time to heal like a very long time, so long that sometimes i acidentally open up the scab again by walking into something or just barely brushing it .. could it be possible that multiple scabs on my forearm , under thigh and low shin be infected by bacteria simultaneously ?

A nummular dermatitis with secondary bacterial infection is likely.
