Hello,

Thanks for writing in.

Going by the details provided by you the possibility of furunculosis comes to my mind.

This is basically an infection of the hair root which causes swelling and pain.

However, I need to see a picture of your lesions to be sure of the diagnosis.

You may upload the picture using the "upload your reports" feature on the query page or you may send it to YYYY@YYYY with SUb: Attn Dr Gaurang.

I shall be in a better position once I see the pics.

In the meantime you may use Mupirocin (Bactroban) ointment twice daily.

Awaiting your response

Thanks
