Right the yellow is not regular infection, and doesn't scab like a regular sore/lesions should. Those are what I put the Mupirocin ointment on, after pulling out that yellow crud. When it tries to do some positive, then I put the clobetasol ointment on it. 🫂

Kimberly do use Mupirocin ointment on those right now? With them having the yellow inside the lesions, I would put that on mine, then cover with a hydrocolloid bandage that does not create more lesions.
The redness with sunburn now, fine later, sounds like my rosacea, how it first came on last spring. My first full blown outbreak. Combination of rosacea with PN gets confusing.

I use hydrocolloidal bandages with steroidal cream right now to treat. It’s the only thing that helps.

That “yellow” definitely isn’t pus, I think it’s hard slough, the skin over these spots just dies. That yellow stuff is a fairly hard material that has to be dug out before the wound will start to heal at all. It’s like the epidermis lifts from the dermis and then dies. And then excess inflammation lays down a layer of something that doesn’t bleed. 🤷🏻‍♀️ These appear without scratching since I bandage when I first get the welts/hives. Then the skin takes FOREVER to heal when it ulcers. I had to go to a wound specialist who told me these were NOT infected and I needed to see a dermatologist. And finally getting in to a dermatologist brought me here.

I hope it’s PD as that is difficult, but at least treatable. But after researching, some things don’t match. And I’m fighting to get a medication covered, and just crossing my fingers something works.

Until we discovered the steroid cream, I had these large patches on all 4 limbs and the back of my neck. I was a walking bandage. Right now 🤞🏼I only have smaller ulcers, in various stages of healing, on one leg and one arm.

Most of my symptoms sound like PD, but these don’t look like the PD ulcers I’ve been seeing. So I’m just 🤷🏻‍♀️ hoping maybe others present this way.

I bandage before an ulcer forms, but it still forms, without scratching. (I have bandages covering it, so I literally CANNOT scratch at them.
