Skin infections that won’t heal

I’m 31 weeks. A bit anaemia and have suffered with HG all through (still on ondansetron)

The last few weeks I keep getting skin infections. One was a graze, another I cut myself shaving legs and others just random little spots usually on legs that get infected. Scan over with a greenish scab that goes soggy in the bath or shower but just won’t heal. Get bigger and I have to get that nasty scab off and it needs to bleed before they finally start to scab properly but they scar a v deep purple ??? Is this due to anaemia ? They get sore and are unsightly 😔

Speak to your midwife and get your liver function tested.

Did you have a glucose test? Just thinking that diabetics can have this problem so possibly you could have GD?

Hopefully it's nothing but definitely speak to your dr to be sure.

I always thought wounds that didn't heal or got infected frequently was a sign of diabetes.
Have you been tested and checked?
