What Causes Horseshoe Shaped Rashes On The Face And Body?
Hi I have a horseshoe shaped sore on my upper arms and thighs and and chest and face. They do not heal unless I get the black spots out with tweezers. Sometimes there is a white bubble that pops up and when I try to pull it with teeezers a very elastic like tube is what it is and then it snaps back when it eventually breaks instead of coming out! It started after a gardening accident when I got stuck in the heal of my hand by a sharp green leave of a saw palmetto. That area got hugely swollen until it went down into a 1inch round papule . Is it a fungus?
I have read your queries in detail. First, I would like to tell you that the problem started may be due to infection of bacteria or fungus. But now it has grown up in a big scale and it is presenting these symptoms to you. I would advise you to consult a surgeon nearby you and have a look. If it needs a minor surgical repair, then get it done.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Nirav Nimavat
