Do I have something I should worry about?

[poetry]

I don't know if this is a disease I may have cought, or been born with, and its starting to freak me out.  I'm going to turn ninteen soon, but since my eighteenth b-day, Ive been having strange stuff happen: I've been getting strange sores on random parts of my body, on my hips, my chest, around my vaginal area and one appeared on my right buttock.  They are sensitive to the touch and very painful, they swell, weep a clear fluid and have a white puss that comes out when squeezed. They go away after a while, however, as soon as one heals, another appears. they also leave marks behind, some red and pink, and some purple with some scarring. I'm told by friends and colleagues that they are just sores created by stress and anxiety.
Do I have something I should worry about?

do you have a lot of stress and anxiety? anxiety can do a lot of strange things to our bodies. could they be boils?

I don't know? should I research boils to be safe....?

oh sure absolutely...you will get more responses so keep checking here. there is something else i am trying to think of but i cannot think of the name for them? im sorry! it is a condition though. harmless, but a nusaince. sometimes people keep having them removed but they keep coming back. fibroid something rather????

are they pimple-like?  if so I wouldn't be worried.  It could just be heat rash or such.  I get this too, on occasion.

You should see a doctor.  It doesn't sound too pleasant or attractive.  I think the sooner you have a professional medical answer the better.  Good luck!

yeah, i dont agree (respectfully of course) with the other poster in that it may be heat rash. this sounds more serious and painful.
casey...do you know what its called??? i am still trying to think of it. its on the tip of my tongue.

[oceans3]

ya know what....i think i was thinking about lipoma. however, those lumps are not painful. sounds like the poster is experiencing more what you suggested.
boils also sound like it too. i just looked that up.

Sounds like staf infection to me. We all have staf on our skin that is microscopic but when we get a boo boo that breaks our skin open, staf gets in there. You need to clean the boo boos often with anti-bac soap & you may need to see a doc for antibiotics to clear your system. It's almost like having a boil. They do need to be drained but proceed with caution & clean hands & cloths. They almost always scar wether you drain them or not. Good luck!

It sounds like a boil or an ingrown hair.  I get them all the time in the same places.  You can buy a cream called Boil Ease.  I get mine at Walgreens.  I have not been successful at finding it at Walmart or Target.  You apply this cream and the boils stop hurting and go away somehow.  From what my doctor has told me it is staph that causes your hair follicles to become infected.  However, just because you have an infection, you don't need antibiotics.  A way I prevent them is by using a feminine powder from Monistat or Vagisil.  I put the powder on the areas that may rub against each other or clothes...namely my bottom, thighs and under my breast.  Good Luck!!!
