What Causes Open Sores All Over The Body?

I have multiple open sores on my body 15 to be exact. I have been to the hospital twice and both times I was told I do not know what this is, and I dont know how to treat it . I asked the doctors to run some test, swab the areas, take blood work, and his response to that was I dont know what to test for so Im just going to put you on an antibiotic and phenergan to keep you comfortable. I need help.

Hi,

Since when you're suffering from this sores? The possibility of impetigo or chicken pox with secondary bacterial infection or scabies with secondary bacterial infection or allergic dermatitis or instructive jaundice etc.

Until the examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Use tablet Amoxiclav. Avoid intake of skin irritants.

Please get it done complete blood picture, eosinophil count, blood urea, total bilirubin, skin swab culture and sensitivity and biopsy etc.

Please consult your dermatologist, he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
