Okay well on Friday i wore some sandals for the first time, all day, and as a result it rubbed a layer of skin off of my toe - the area is slightly bigger than your thumb nail.
When the scab has started to heal, this is the same with any other scabs i have had, it first goes a sort of greeny (sorry, its really hard to explain) thin jelly like layer over the cut, burn etc and then takes a very long time to form a hard scab like usual scabs!
But it is Monday now and my toe (i also have two other scabs from wearing the sandals) has not healed; i just had a shower and in the shower this green jelly like film that was over the sore has now become puss-y and has sort of ripped and is disgusting looking! I cant wear shoes with it like this! This is the same story for the other scabs i have, howether they are smaller. The outside of the scab has sort of healed, about a mm, but the middle of them is horrible.
I apologise because that really isnt a brilliant description! Something that i also find strange is that i have never had a nose bleed - i am 17 - even though i have been hit in the face with a cricket bat and a rounders all etc (mistakes!) - even that did not cause me to have a nose bleed - and i am sorry but that type of pain i am sure would be enough to cause a nose bleed!
I’m trying to provide as much information you may need here, so i guess my menstrual cycle may help! I am generally on a three week cycle that is really regular, give or take a few days. But, i am extremely light during my whole period - i mean i still need to wear protection, but i dont even notice any difference when i am on my period, unlike when i first started my periods and i was so heavy is was horrible (I first started my periods when i was 13).
Oh, also, on Saturday morning i cleaned the blisters and scabs i had with Dettol spray that is designed to wash cuts out and then plastered them up because i had to go to work so i had to wear shoes! But when i got home i took the plasters off and left them alone to breathe. I risked it yesterday and just wore socks - i hope that this hasnt caused some sort of infection. It is hard to smell your toe, but where i have got my ear pierced a couple of times i find that they are permanently infected with a horrible smelling white liquid/mostly solid coming out when i touch then or squeeze it out when i feel it has built up.
Does anyone know anything that could explain all of this! I am clean, i have a shower every day without fail and wash my clothes regularly etc I also have very sensitive skin and so have quite alot of allergic reactions.
If you could explain any of these problems then that would put my mind at ease! I am going to the doctors later this week to get a cervical cancer jab so i can query this then, but any advice or suggestions you have would be brilliant. Thanks alot!
