These Are Some Of The Sores On My Legs
I am having trouble with sores on my legs and arms that won't go away and I don't know what is causing them or how to get rid of them.
It all started when I took in some kittens that were absent from their mother. I didn't realize how sick they were. I felt so sorry for them as they looked so terrified.
Their eyes were closed shut and I had to clean them at least 3 times a day. Mind you there were 5 of them. I had to bottle feed them, too! It was not easy, but I had to do something.
It took me over a year to get them well enough to live. They all would have died. Well, long story short... I ended keeping all 5 of them because I got so attached to all of them.
Now about me, for the past 4 or 5 months I have been getting these sores on my legs and arms and they are getting worse.
If I pick them, a little brown bug comes out and it starts to bleed and the sore gets all inflamed. It also take a long time to heal and leaves a hole and a very ugly scar and sometimes it gets reinfected with more brown bug.
I just don't know what to do with this because I don't know what it is. I wonder if it came from the kittens. I don't feel them moving around or they don't itch real bad but they look so ugly and are destroying my skin and are inflamed and hurt to the touch.
Sometimes if I scratch my skin there are tiny little black dots appear. I don't want to go to the doctor because I don't want to be told that it's nothing.
I have been reading up on things I think it might be, but it's too much ...this or that and it's worse each day.
I just want it to go away! It's a thorn in my side! Oh...maybe that's what it is "thorns!" Just kidding. It's better to joke about it than just crying all the time. 😄ðŸ˜ðŸ˜‚
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks,
