ChickenWrap Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 Ive had these stupid dots (all over me) for about 3 weeks now. I went to the hospital, 3 doctors examined it and (i guess they were either not used to seeing rashes or were completely clueless) and had no idea what was wrong. They took one of em out and sent it for a biopsy, which means in 2 weeks i get the results, then in another week i get to see a dermatologist and another week before it clears up. Thats another month i have to deal with the stupid dots all over my face... I went to see another doctor today and he said they were chicken pox. But then again, I really dont think he is a very good doctor because ive already had chicken pox (im aware you can get them again), and the symptoms last 5-7 days max. So im hoping maybe from neowin has experienced something like this or knows something about it. They are approx 0.5cm big, circular, raised (not flat on my skin), not itchy at all and they dont hurt. Any idea what it could be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CdCViRus Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 it could be herpes, syphilis, or some other bacterial infection seriously, if THREE (not one, not two, but three) docs LOOKED at it, and didn't know wtf that was, how do you expect people at neowin to diagnose you, without even seeing that?

pimpshiznid Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 Might be Impetigo or Meningitis.... Look the diseases up to see what the dots look like in both cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLapointe Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 They could be Hives but since you had 3 doctors look at them I don't think you would have three dumb a*s docs that would figure this out. Also since they sent for a biopsy that most likely this isn't a simple case of the hives because that costs a whole sh*t load more money that just giving you an rx for a zpac. Well I don't think it would be skin cancer because I think you would know what that looks like if you see it on you. I've seen what that looks like and it doesn't look pretty. Edit...and any of the other things that were said on this forum you wouldn't have because you would be very sick right now. Also you can die from Meningitis is it isn't treated in the hospital.

ozgeek Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 Did you even try to go to your local ambulance station? I'm so lucky that my parents are health professionals! My father is an ambo officer and my mother is a nurse at the local hospital. If you post a picture of your infected skin, I can show my parents. They might be happy to determine the disease you might have. I don't know what they know as I only know technology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rossonthenet Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 For **** sake, it could simply be pimples that aren't infected with pus', hence why they don't itch or hurt. I get them.. its a reaction that most teenagers get mate. Looking at my skin, i've got loads of wee red "dots" over my body, and i don't go squealing and asking for help. Accept that these things happen. I'm sure the doctor will put you on oxytetrocycline or erythromycin or something. Skin infection/disorder type drugs.
