Answers:
Look up basil cell carcinoma my sister had this and it turned out it was cancerous. Certain types can look like a scaly patch,itch and ooze. Not dangerous.
u sound hot, but it probably should be checked out by a DR. sorry for not being one
dermotologist
im sorry but im not a doctor so idk. try not to scratch it. and visit a doctor.
Sometimes a pore can become dirty and then seal up. Which encases pus and blood. If i were you, I would clean it with a ivory soap. Not anything flavored up. But basic. And start keeping it clean. If it doesn't go away after about a week of cleaning. I would go to the doctor and ask him about it. You might have some type of infection.
I think its impatigo. I used to have it, it usually shows up on the face. Itchy, red, oozy, dry and scabby, try putting vagisil wipes on it or goldbond wipes. Both are for itch and infection which is exactly what it is.
Sounds like a bit of eczema. Head to the Dermatologist to make sure and she can give you the right kind of medicine for it. Don't pick!
Go to a dermatologist... not just a regular MD. It could be anything fro allergic eczema to scabies. Don't put anything else on it without the docs okaying it. There are so many specialzed meds for rashes and skin issues. Putting the wrong thing on it could make it worse or never heal. The derm docs know what they see and what to do for it far better than a regular MD. Don't mess with skin issues on the face as a rule..infections can spread and easlily invade the mucous membranes around the mouth,eyes and nose causing even more severe systemic infections in rare instances.
hey, i had a thing called keratoacanthoma, which is a noncancerous sore that looks like a raised cold sore that often covers squamous cell carcinomas...which mine did and that sucked. it was on my lower lip. it sounds like you might have one.
it usually occurs in 90 year old men who ahve worked outside in the sun their entire lives and i was the youngest person who ever had it. iwas 19.
let me know if that's what it is. i'd be curious.
Your doctor will take a wound swab and send it to the pathologist for micro, culture and sensitivity MCS. This will identify the causative organisim and suggest appropriate antibiotcs. Could be a staph infection. All the best
