It appeared overnite, and it just wouldn't heal. I called my doctor who is not very good, as he lets people diagnose themselves and then he prescribes medication. I am HCV positive. Would this have anything to do with getting a blister in that area?
My doctor also gave me antibiotics without even seeing me. This has not really helped and he has changed the medication twice. I am a scab picker because of the itching. It is hard to leave things be. I must be a mutilator.
What I basically want to know is if HCV would cause a blister in this area, or could it be from a toilet seat?
Should I turn my doctor in for being so negligent? He is 81 and should retire, but people keep seeing him because of his easiness, and has the rep of being a quack.
