Lesions on my thighs
Hi,
For more than six months now I am getting recurrent lesions on my skin. First I started getting it on my eyelids. The biols on my eyelids used to be very painful with blood and pus discharge.
The boils came one at a time and I will get another one after the previous one has healed completely. Let me tell you here, that I wear contact lens. I observed that the day I wore the lens, within twenty four hours a boil would appear in either left or right eye. Now I have stopped wearing lenses and the boils are gone from eye. Twice the same painful swollen inflammation came in nostreals. This is in between when I was getting them in my eyes.
Of late, may be a two months or so I have started getting painful lesions on my right thigh and buttock (right side). The nature is same, it will come one at a time and the next appears once the previous one has completely healed. They are very painful...first the site gets a small blister like thing with white pus in it.....in a day or two it will get bigger and will be very painful...couple of those healed leaving back scar just like that...for the other I had to visit the doctor and take antibiotics....then it will heal. The leasions discharged blodd mixed with pus....while healing the surrounding area will itch like anything....
I have seen eye doctors, medicine and even dermatologist..every one feels that it is not something serious and have not asked me to get tested for anything....not sure if they are right...the more I study on the net the more I get worried....
Can some one tell me if these are signs of any STD contamination. Also note that I do not have any other symptoms apart from lesions....no fever, no swllen glands, no cough ...absolutely nothing....
Yes, at times may be once weekly or biweekly I feel weak/numb in my knee joints (not pain)...
Looking forward to your responses

It sounds a lot more like a bacterial issue than herpes. You've had numerous doctors examine your symptoms and none of them are concerned about herpes either.
If you've had numerous sexual partners - have you been tested for std's?

NOTHING you have said suggests an STD. Herpes don't attack the whole body as you suggested and whatever you have doesn't sound like it anyhow. Just the fact antibiotics cleared it up proves it's not herpes. Could be allergic reaction to the contact lenses or something.
Thanks for your response. Yes in the year 2006 I have had multiple unprotected sexual encounters....may be 10 or more.....
You don't give us any sexual history to suggest STDs, so I'd have to say no, just based on what I'm reading here. Your symptoms certainly don't mimic herpes.
