Painful sores on arms - desperate

4 replies

Am at my wits end with what look like infected insect bites on my arms which have flared up dramatically. They’re red, nasty looking and a bit sore. Any ideas on what they could be? They look like painful sores or boils. I’m pretty sure they’re not insect bites. Anyone?

Photos?
How long have you had them?
Have you seen a pharamist or a GP?

Thanks @Recoverymoreprotein I actually had them quite badly a few years ago and saw GP locum who was utterly useless. I didn’t get a satisfactory answer. I feel very self conscious over them. They look so awful. I think I will call Bupa and see if I can see a dermatologist. Just wondered if anyone had a similar experience 😞😞😞

I would start with the pharamist and GP.

I had a friend who was allergic to mostiqutoe bites and would get massive blisters. It could be an abnormal reaction to a bug bite.
