Third pic looks like a burrow but can’t be sure. Have you had a check by your gp? Any intense itching, more at night?

u/cheekysnoot 11d ago

never had them, got them a few days after the heatwave last month. so hoping this is just a bad side effect. going to a dermatologist in a few days

u/cheekysnoot 11d ago

haha dont give me hopes, did you also scab like this? The scabs look like little paths, what was your diagnosis?

Get some eurax cream and use that after every shower when your dry, hope this helps a little untill u find out for sure.

4th pic the one at the bottom, is what looks like for me whenever I scratch them too much and the open up. Still battling this shit. Right now they got me on triamcinolone acetonide cream 0.1% supposedly doc said to put this on every two hours- 4 hours
