My shoulder has been like this for months, I’m starting to worry.
I’ll try to be as specific as I can here. I’ve let it be for months because I thought it was just acne but it isn’t healing, some of them used to be pus filled but aren’t anymore because (and yes I know it’s bad) I popped them. Also, idk if this matters but the pus itself isn’t like normal acne pus, it’s strangely congealed in ways I can’t exactly describe. Sometimes they’ll scab over but the scabs will always just fall off when I shower so idk. (Picture taken right after shower) The skin underneath is thin and soft, similar to a fluid filled blister from a burn, and it doesn’t actively bleed or anything as much as ooze to the point where any shirt I wear for more than six hours literally crusts with blood and fluids, I’ve started bandaging it recently because of this and to see if it will help. The shoulder both hurts on the outside because the skin is sensitive and internally if too much pressure is applied, that makes me think there’s more fluid buildup. I know I have bad acne- bad enough that I’m on Accutane but idk if this is acne anymore. I have an appointment with my dermatologist this week but I wanted to also consult the people of the internet for some varying opinions. Thank you all in advance and for even reading all that.
