Georgia, I am worried about your situation. Is it possible for you to call the dermatologist about the nodules with fluid drainage. As the AI recommended, there could be an infection brewing. I would suggest calling the dermatologist, describing your current nodule situation, in order to receive advice about this. In terms of the itching/ scratching, there are over the counter products to treat the itching. CeraVe comes to mind. For spot treatment, there is over the counter cortisone ointment, and clear calamine lotion. There is also the option of purchasing the NAC supplement on Amazon. I think it is important to be focused and clear with your concerns so the dermatologist and their staff could help you.

Nem foglalkozik senki ezzel a problémámmal. Azt mondják nagyon összetett. 🤔🤔🤔

Georgia, I would ask if your dermatologist has a patient portal. The portal is very helpful in having questions answered, request prescriptions, and schedule appointments. My dermatologist recommended prescription steroid creams,scalp treatments..I use moisturizer daily, gentle shower soap, and shampoo.

I don't know they're coming. What topical products do you use? All I have is the antibiotic salve. One big problem, my dermatologist is with the Cleveland Clinic. He is booked solid and covers 3 places. I can't get in . He is putting me on dupixent, don't have an appointment until mid August. Meanwhile these nodules hurt so bad the only relief is to open them which I know is wrong. Just leave them alone until they go on their own? Grin and bare it? I was seeing another dermatologist who moved, gave shots of cortisone.

I have not experienced fluid in the nodules. Since I treat appearing nodules immediately, I don't have them becoming larger or hard. Mine start as red spots. I interrupt the progression by the use of prescribed topicals. Georgia, I am concerned that you continue to allow them to develop, and pick at them as a "surgery", Why are you risking infection and scarring? If your treatments are unsuccessful, don't you think it's time to regroup with your dermatologist?
