Brief Answer:
Is there any fluid coming out of these blisters?

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for the upload. I have reviewed this image and it is very suggestive of a possible infection. However, am concerned because you say this has been going on for a while. I will like to know if there is any pi-like or watery secretion coming out of these lesions. If it is, then you may need antibiotics to clear it off.

Let me hear from you.

Brief Answer:
Show this to your doctor!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Am pretty sure this is an infection. It will require antibiotics and only your doctor can do so. Also, do not allow yourself to suffer in silence. He’s your doctor to address things like this and not for you to conceal them. Feel free and ask him to help you out. He will be more than happy to do that.

I hope this helps. I wish you well.
