okaii, so as you would know (if you read) that i posted a thread yesterday or the day before about a throat ulcer, well things have kind of developed, & i'm not sure if they're connected, but i'm scared.
so.. i had the throat ulcer & last night before i got into the bath i noticed a little red mark with spots in it just above my ankle. i thought nothing of it, & got in the bath.
it started to sting about 9pm last night but i thought it was just a rash, so i ignored it.
woke up this morning to see what only can be described as an ulcer on my leg. its a red rash with lumps & a raised surface of yellow skin, which me & my mom are presuming is filled with pus.
i went shopping & it gradually got worse through the day, a rash has developed around it & more lumps have appeared. my whole lower leg has changed colour & i have a constant pain, i can only describe it as being poked with about 20 pins every couple of seconds.
my mom is kinda scared because of how much my leg hurts & how this ulcer has appeared from nowhere.
i know you're probably going to tell me to go to the doctors, but it's not that simple as our doctor is fully booked up til friday & i'm not sure whether it warrants a hospital visit. i'm just looking for some advice, or people who've had it before.
mymom is worried of how i'm going to get through the night because of the pain, rash & ulcer spreading and i'm scared. so yeahh (: i'm particularily scared because i do still have a throat ulcer.
and i took a picture if anyone wanted to see what i meant, behind a link so not to cause offence. it's not too good, but it does the job of illustrating what's happening.
thanks alot (:
