I have had a dermatology problem for the last 3 weeks. It started with a very sore area on my left (upper) thigh. It was hot to the touch, tender skin, and extreme pain. In one weeks time, an eruption of (what appeared to be many bites approx. 16) appeared in that same location. I used an ice pack topically and took ibuprofen for the discomfort, but had little relief. In two weeks time the 'bites' (about the size of a pin head), had a yellow liquid on the surface. They have since broken open and scabbed over. My symptoms now are: discomfort (although less), some heat, swelling and nerve tingling-sharp pains. Can you give me a link(with photo's) as to what this might be? BACKGROUND HISTORY; had chicken pox as a child and a shingle shot 4 years ago. This is the first time I've ever had this symptom.
