Question: After what looked like a bug bite a itchy small lump persisted for days then started to grow constantly under the skin with a redish itchy infection like appearance. It grew slowly through some 30 days to the size of a bean and had some yellow spots i hoped would drain whatever was inside but it didnt. I started applying over the counter topical antibiotic and the growth stop and many days after massive usage it shrank completely. I also applied some doxicicline i had from a previous tick bite infection episode , crushed the pills and it seemed to help speed thing up. The skin in the area is darker i believe due to scarring. The problem is that whenever i'm going through a stressful fase and consume a little more sugar at that site tiny bug like edemas appear around that site (1, 2 or 3 spread over the area) and grow very fast only stopping if i apply more topical antibiótic after which they disappear whitin hours. The darkened área of the skin seem to be growing perhaps after these reinfections but i'm afraid it may be slowly growing without my body reacting, It begin some eight months ago at the lowest point in my life where my immune system was probably a wreck. Please if possible vive me some pointers. I beleive it could be anaeróbica bactéria since when i was fighting that first lump, after the skin got scratched i could apply h2o2 and it made it shrink very fast in comparison with the tropical intibiotic and also it appeare in a time that i had quit exercising and didn't resume since. I dont have diabetes as i've tested my blood sugar levels. It doesn't happen usyally, only when i'm under stress. A doctor i've seem for other reason told me itvwas likely a spider bite, it was some twenty days after the beggining. He said it would resume on itself' but as i said before i was going through a very low point eating bad, lots of worries and no exercise so my immune system was a crap. Now i'm wating well and have few worries, and after months beeing allright a stressful phase appeared and it restarted. Seems like after eating suggary stuff it appears, but not only then, thecreal trigger is stress, but i don't think it is self immune either. At first it seemed to me that that big collagen lump that was formed to encapsulate the infection has been reabsorbed but retained some spores or bactéria within that at times when the collagen get reabsorver gets in touch with blood and gets alivThankin. A few times that i didn't have the antibiotic at hand it subsided on itself in a few hours but one other time it grew so fast and so big that i didn't take chances anymore. The skin looks like a quarter coin slightly darkened with irregular borders maybe scars from só many recurrences and the center is slightly more pink' perhaps there is still bactéria there, but otherwise seems normal. What scares me is how fast it starts and groq withim minutes from nothing to a big mosquito like edema. Thank you for yotherwise
