Suggest Treatment For Itchy Sore On Back

I have four sores on my back. They began on the inside, itching terribly, and have opened on the outside. They have a stabbing pain that causes me to catch my breath. One is worse than the others. It seems to be throbbing around it, also. My husband said it looks like it is turning to a rash.

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello,

Welcome to healthcare magic.

From your history and description, I would consider the possibility of boilf or furuncles.

You may need a course of oral antibiotics like cephalexin.

You can also apply a topical antibiotic cream.

Please get these prescribed by your GP.

Hope this helps you.

Take care.
