Hi,

Anyone knows what is this?

At first it started like a mosquito bite , round and hard, after 2 days, theres small blister around it, and it speads bigger and yellow fluid coming out
And the next week i got another 2 near the first one, i suspect its from dust mite or bed bugs maybe? maybe got infected after i scratched them
Now the first and second one already merged together and become a big patch

Those brown and black stain is from the iodine given by doc

Been to the a few dermatologist, given antibiotics and some cream, its getting better the first few days after taking the medicine and cream, after a week it comes back again and i went to 3rd dermatologist, given some cream and allergic medicine, Its not that red and no more yellow fluid coming out now, but i scared it might be back again

Any good skin specialist to recommend in KL?

Thanks

dats heavy stuff..
maybe stung by venomous bugs

Not sure got stung by what too
but i suspect maybe from dust mite or bed bugs
maybe got infected after i scratched them

second picture is suggestive of fungal infection.

currently looks like infection is over and at the pigmentation/scarring stage.........which is the usual end result of a prolonged healing process...........

good luck.

What did the last doctor told you, to wait for it to heal? Seems like no more infection.

First doc told me its dermatitis, second doc told me its bulluous impetigo, third one told me its eczema

Now still taking allergic medicine from the last doc, left 4 more days, lets see its coming back or not after this

After the second doc, it looks like now too, after a few days it came back again, now im scared that it will be back

infection looks really bad..did you scratched it?

Bed bugs don't bite until like that usually. Maybe it's eczema. Triggered by something.

The infection has cleared. Looks like you have active eczema from the last 2 pics most probably triggered by the iodine that you applied while treating the initial infection.
Please stick to one dermatologist only to treat your eczema. It'll take around 2 weeks for your eczema to resolve with a steroid jab, oral medications and diligent cream application.

yeah at first in the first pic, before 2 blister coming out, after that did not scratched anymore

It has cleared up after i went to Dr RANJIT , end up it was a fungal infection, given medication for one month, my skin went back to normal !! without any scars , he's really good

Where is this Dr ranjit?

SS15

I guess your doctors had treated you for all the above? Maybe you have to consider fungal?

I had itchy patch on arm for 3 years and went through 3 specialists, all telling me allergy and eczema. Eczema cream made it worst!
Went to a very old pharmacist in hometown and although she was not 100% sure it's fungal, she let me tried Isoradin (2 weeks) followed by Zarin. Took me 3 months to heal but the scar is still there. For me this is good enough already, at least it's not red or itchy anymore. I did asked the pharmacist if it will make it worse, she told me, it's already been so bad for years and went through many treatments, it's like I got nothing to lose now.
