Day help: Hello. - Help.com

Hello.

I have been stumped about a “condition” I may have. I don’t know what it is. It began with one sore on the back of my head where my “nape” is. It was like a pimple. But it itched like crazy, and of course I itched it, then before I knew it there was 5 of them on the back of my head about the size of the diameter of a pencil eraser. I then stopped itching, tried to keep my hands off of it, continued putting creme on it, but they are still there and now I’ve got a few more on my scalp in various spots. It’s strange because one of them itched like crazy, I itched it, but then it felt sore too, and it was raised up on my scalp like a lump on my head, but wasn’t even red at the time, couldn’t even see anything except a lump, a good sized lump. Then a couple days later, it formed into a scabbed sore. I’m unable to go to the doctor right now and I’ve tried treating it on my own using A&D Ointment, Proactive, prescribed ringworm medication (that was used on one of my kids when he had ringworm), everything I use, it only makes it scab up more. I’ve googled it on the internet trying to figure out what this could be, but haven’t come up with any answers yet. I haven’t got a clue. Also, I don’t know if it’s related but I run a low grade fever lately, off and on. Loose stools which is abnormal for me, headaches and fatigue. Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Please Help if you can! Thanks.

It does look like some form of infection…
If your lucky its just fungal and isolated to the epidermal layers!
You better see your doctor bout it as it could be just surface signs of something much worse.

From what you’re describing it sounds like it could be ringworm, are you able to look at it or have someone look at it for you ? as R.A.M says I would sure see a doc if possible. Google ringworm home remedies, this may be a help if you cant afford a doc.
