It has been my experience that the nodules don’t typically ooze. If that happens the doctor prescribed Mupirocin, a topical atibiotic used to “treat secondarily infected traumatic skin lesions due to specific bacteria.” Every time mine ooze I use it and the situation improved. We all have Streptococcus and staph on the skin so it is not that hard to get an infection especially if you touch the nodules a lot. I had a biopsy the first time to confirm the doctor’s suspicion that the nodules were infected with strep. And, the mupirocin helped, so I could determine that particular doctor did know what he was talking about. 😜.

I have to sleep with towel over my pillows . The pillow cases would be covered in whatever leaks out while I sleep. Would often wake up with opened sores glued to pillow case. Truly gross .
