What Causes Red Inflamed Blister Under The Elbow Joint?
I got pinched at work by a crate and it left a blister. I do not like blisters so i popped it. it scabbed over and turned into something almost like a bruise. A few months later it blistered again. I repeated the steps of popping it, scabbing, than bruise. Now it looks like a large bruise on the inside of my right lower part of my arm near the elbow joint. It will itch and when it does it get red and inflamed but when its calm it looks like a bruise. i have three identical marks on my lower legs. two on my right and one my left. I ve been to two different doctors and they both told me two different things. I tried the steroid cream and fungal cream they gave me and none of them has worked. Ive had this for almost a year now, can anyone help please? F.Y.I.: its always in a perfect circle!
thanks for posting your queryto hcm . Aas I understand it could be because of some kind of allergy or fungal infection. both condition leads to prolong duration of complaint . I suggest you to contact dermatolgist and undergo skin scrapping examination for fungus . if fungal etiology is confirmed then start treatment . steroid are helpful in releving local inflammation and give symptomatic releief but haaving many adverse effect so dont use steroid without guidence of clinician . hope it will help you .
