i have been getting random bleeding sore's for the past few days, they are very painfull, i do not touch them and they just come up and start bleeding, most are on my legs, they become swallen and clear fluid leaks from them after they bleed. they do not itch but are painfull, they start off the size of a pin prick and become an open scabb about 4mms across, the swelling can become 3-4 cm around, i currently have one on my hairline and the swelling exceeds to my eyebrow, it is very painfull and i did take 4 panadiene extra last night that only helped a little. i have not changed any products or medication , eg, soaps, washing powder etc. i have never used any recreational drugs. can you please help.

 Hello,You seem to be suffering from folliculitis cause by bacterial infection.This is easily aquired being quite contageous.The cause is a bacterial infection either by staphylococci or streptococci.
A course of antibiotic is needed to tackle the infection.External application of bactroban ie mupurocin would help in minor infections.Deeper infections need oral antibiotic.A few may need drainage of abscess if it has formed.
My wishes for your speedy recovery.
