Let's play "What the F*** is on my leg?!"

[Bee]

Because I seriously need to know. I've had this nasty wound on my leg for the past year or so. It doesn't hurt, it itches on occasion, it refuses to heal, but it doesn't appear to be infected.

I apply Neosporin to it, but I don't cover it. You'll see in the picture I have exceptionally hairy legs, so band-aids are out of the question. And I don't want to shave around it and accidentally open the wound more and cause it to spread or get infected.

Any ideas as to what it is? Should I go to the hospital? It hasn't really bothered me, other than the fact it just won't go away. I'd like for it to go away. I asked around if it was ringworm or something, but everyone I asked said it doesn't look like it. But I don't know. I'm not a medical expert.

Anyone have a clue as to what it is, or how I can get rid of it?

I'm keeping it in the link in case anyone out there finds it squeamish.

Uhhh... no offense, but that is a bit nasty.

I have no clue what it is, but your shaving remark made me think of that one scene in "Cabin Fever", where the girl shaves her legs, but ends up skinning them instead.

If it doesn't hurt, I would just wait till your next visit to the doctor, then ask them to take a look at it. That's their job!

Yeah, that's why I left it in link and that's the whole purpose of the thread. It's nasty looking and I want it to heal.

Thanks for bringing up that colorful image Dua.Thanks SO much.

It looks to me like a fly bite, could be nothing but you may wanna check it out if it's hurting you.

Hmm~ It could be eczema.

Eczema was my thought too.

I have some nasty psoriasis on my ears. Shit is no good.

I think you guys may be right. I had Eczema when I was little, but I thought I had gotten over it.
