I had unprotected sex with a total stranger at their place. 2-3 days later these red itchy bumps came under both armpits. It has been 40 days since I did that and still not better. Used Lotrimin powder for weeks the entire bottle and didn't do anything but keep dry which makes me think not fungal. Raw garlic burns for 10 minutes but then feels better and doesn't itch for hours after. It has spread some up the back of my arm and front of shoulder on both sides of my body. The right is worse in the back shoulder area and the left is worse in the front shoulder area though. She had dried scabs on her forehead I first thought were from getting scraped and touched them (Dumb, I know). When I was leaving I asked what the scabs were from and then could tell she was hiding something in the way she answered me. I've washed everything I have over and over. Have been using the same deodorant and detergent for years. Had an itchy anus for 2 weeks and don't know if that was related to bumps under arms but that went away completely after trimming and using Lotrimin powder there every day. I know that I got something either from her, her dogs, or something at her place. Virus, bacteria, fungus, or whatever. What could I have gotten? See pic below.
Have you ever had Chicken POX?
Looks like the milder version of my shingles.
I wouldn't take any antibiotics, but would spray it and keep it moist with colloidal silver.
Hi guys,
I've had a problem during last 1,5 month. I used to work in hairdressing salon. I worked there as receptionist. Anyways, assistant washed my head with new shampoo. About an hour after that I accidentally stumbled upon a bump on left side of forehead that was very itchy and did not hurt. Every time I scratched it it became bigger and more red, when I left it alone, it calmed down. During following days, skin above and little bit next to bump swelled up, and became wrinkled. Anyways, I visited one dermatologist,that one said it was supposedly allergic reaction and prescribed me antihistamine tablets and steroid cream, which did not work. Then more such bumps appeared, that itched on left side of forehead. Second dermatologist took a swab and said it was acne, which I know it was not because this behaved differently. Results came after a week and they came negative for herpes, and supposedly also staph infections. It was supposedly just an acne, which I know it was not, because this behaved differently. She prescribed me acnemycin (topical antibiotic). It worked partially. Bump turned into pimple. Third dermatologist I visited month ago looked at it, and said it was acute infection - impetiginization of other dermatitis (I have seborrhoea in my Tzone btw, not sure if she meant that), with manifestation of folliculititis like papules. In other words, according to her it is something between these two things. She prescribed me antibiotic, which i was taking for 10 days, and anti fungal tablets, also alcohol liquid+ stafal (anti staphyloccocal liquid) + fucidin cream. It worked partially as well. Anyways,before I started using this, I popped one such pimple that was in my temple, and since then, I had area above it swollen (it has been like that for 3 weeks). Overall left side of forehead is very slightly swollen and wrinkly, and sometimes itches, and above that one bump that I popped few weeks ago, is more swollen area in size of about half an inch.
One such follicule on left side of forehead that seemed healed,was flat, and left just a mark has one day itched and became swollen after I scratched it, and then calmed down. That could mean that infection is still present there. I told it to my dermatologist through email and she said that it seems like I may actually be dealing with chronic infection.
What do you guys think I am dealing with here? Why is it still swollen? And what kind of infection am I dealing with here?
I have been currently taking turmeric powder with warm water 3 times a day, this is probably 7-8th day of me taking it.
What should I do? I ordered oil of oregano with 60% Carvacrol. I am thinking of taking it internally, just dont know how. Also I want to use it topically. Theoretically that could eradicate whatever it is.
What about swelling? How could I reduce it? Thanks.
I've been Oil Pulling with coconut oil and eating it, too. I have more energy and the die-off for me wasn't that bad.

You know, it looks like it might have started out as one thing but that larger one looks like impetigo to me. It can form from a smaller skin irritation if they are scratched or get dirty. Here is what I thought the smaller stuff resembled.
Molluscum contagiosum is a common viral skin infection. It most often affects infants and young children but adults may also be infected.
Molluscum contagiosum presents as clusters of small round bumps (papules) especially in the warm moist places such as the armpit, groin or behind the knees. They range in size from 1 to 6 mm and may be white, pink or brown. They often have a waxy, pinkish look with a small central pit (umbilicated). As they resolve, they may become inflamed, crusted or scabby. There may be few or hundreds of spots on one individual.
Molluscum contagiosum is a harmless virus but it may persist for months or occasionally for a couple of years. It frequently induces a type of dermatitis in the affected areas, which are dry, pink and itchy. Molluscum contagiosum may rarely leave tiny pit-like scars.

Molluscum contagiosum can be spread from person to person (especially children) by direct skin contact. This appears to be more likely in wet conditions, such as when children bathe or swim together. Sexual transmission is possible in adults.
Lesions tend to be more numerous and last longer in children who also have atopic eczema. It can be very extensive and troublesome in patients with human immunodeficiency virus infection.
There is no single perfect treatment of molluscum contagiosum since we are currently unable to kill the virus. The soft white core can be squeezed out of individual lesions. In many cases no specific treatment is necessary.
Medical treatments include:
The dermatitis may be treated with hydrocortisone cream, but is unlikely to fully resolve until the infection has cleared up.
