What Is The Cause For Small Scratches That Turn Into Round Sores Taking Months To Heal When On Cymbalta?

I have taken 60 mg of Cymbalta for 17 months now. my issue is my skin, lesions, sores just seem to appear. Small scratches become round sores that can take 9 or more months to heal. I am then left with horrible scars. I also sweat, leaving me horribly embarrassed. Please help me! what do I do? Robin
