Does any one else get large sore lumps that are very painful?

Question

I keep getting large sore lumps on my legs and arms, they are not all in areas where skin rubs skin so i know it's not sweat rash, but when they pop are burst they give off a very naisty smell, does anyone know what causes them and what it might be my GP is not very helpful and wants me to live on antibiotics all the time. which in the long run is not good for my health

I am a woman, so no i do not wake with a swelling that goes after a cold shower.

Answer 1

30 years ago I became very ill. My Dr. was an old country Doc, and since I had been battling ulcers since my early teens, he treated me for that. After 3 weeks and a 105 pound weight loss I was diagnosed as a Diabetic. During that period I would get these large bumps that would hurt like the devil and the gunk from them smelled horrible.

I am no Doc. I am a concerned diabetic. Early diagnosis is very important. WalMart sells an inexpensive blood glucose monitor. For about $40 you can get all you need to test your blood glucose levels. Normal would be somewhere between 80 and 120. Is less expensive than a visit to the old sawbones, and if it is normal you can always donate the meter to a clinic to help someone less fortunate.

You got me stumped but you need an opinion from a dermatologist soonest GP's just dont have the experience with anything at all obscure.

Answer 3

generally breast lumps, that are cancerous are confusing to touch & at the instant are not sore. do no longer panic. 80 p.c. of all breast lumps are benign, meaning they are not cancerous. Benign breast lumps generally have mushy edges and could be moved somewhat once you push against them. they are usually cutting-edge in the two breasts. There are a number of difficulty-loose motives of benign breast lumps, alongside with widely used differences in breast tissue, breast an infection or harm, and medicines that could reason lumps or breast soreness. Breast tissue differences for the duration of a woman's entire existence. it is totally delicate to changing estrogen and progesterone hormone tiers throughout the time of the menstrual cycle.
