**KLAXON** DH's legs

[SomedayMyPrinceWillCome]

I'm not sure the photo does it justice but DH has about 15 pus filled spots come up on his shin. He's been started on antibiotics for this as it's getting much worse & is very painful.

I thought my fellow sporners would appreciate a photo though!!

Yuk. Do you know what caused it?

Have you squeezed any of them....id be having a field day. Wonderfully disgusting you lucky thing.

I bet if you carefully tweezed out the hairs at the centre, they'd seep wonderfully.

Ohhh! Is it from shin pads? My DH has got some shocking shin pad blisters but won't let me near them

He let me at them with a sterilised needle, it was great fun. They refilled within an hour or so.
No idea what's caused it - he doesn't wear shin pads.
It would be even more fun if they weren't so painful, poor DH he is really suffering and he normally doesn't ever complain

Can you put a hot flannel on them and see if it helps the pain a bit?

I'd have to use antibacterial soap, and drain them regularly. I'd be twitching if that was in my house...

This is amazing. Apart from being painful of course! It would be like Christmas of DP had this

if*

Warm bath with dettoll/TCP might be good.

Has he been near any hogweed?

Odd question i know but my DH has something similar on his arm and hand after brushing against some hogweed. Turns out it can be quite nasty.

Poor DH really suffered, he struggled to move his arm for days and had to have antibiotics to clear it up.

Wouldn't have thought he'd been near any hogweed, but it's a good question - I'll ask him.
I'll see if I can tempt him into a hot bath or hot flannel this evening

Has he been on any new medication? I had a strange reaction to some epilepsy medication similar to the photo.
