Q: Weird skin problem on inner thigh

So a few weeks back it seemed for some reason like I was getting a rash on my inner thigh. I didn't think much of it and started showering twice a day. Before I knew it the a small are of my skin had raised up in two small (smaller than like half an M&M) with what I would call like weird nub looking things. I was confused by what I saw so I wiped it with a tissue and it began to bleed. It seems like the entire top layer was able to be wiped off. I got allot of blood and ending putting a tissue on there till it stopped bleeding. I'm really confused as to what this could be. I haven't had the time to go to the doctor due to a busy schedule.

I think it's important for you to take time out of your busy schedule and see a doctor about this. It could be many, many things. It could be severe eczema, to a form of necrotizing fasciitis (a disease where skin and subcutaneous tissues are destroyed by bacteria). If you have a fever, feel sick or are in a lot of pain... all the more reason to get to the doctor. I'm not trying to sound the alarm or anything, but that picture looks pretty gruesome and painful. So, though I don't know what it is, I highly, highly recommend going to see a doctor.

that looks like fish eggs growing into your skin.

It seems like the skin is bubbling ... due to a bacterial infection. Stuff your busy schedule get that seen to asap whatever it is its badly infected and needs treatment to reduce scarring and to reduce spreading!!!

okay I will go as soon as I can. It's hard because I have Kaiser and getting seen and treated there is a nightmare. I'm actually not in any pain at all. Is there anything I could pick up in the mean time maybe to help? Something from the drug store maybe?

why don't you show the pharmacist? if you pick up some cream it may have a reaction with what ever it is, you should make time to go get it seen and not put it off any longer.
