So there is really no way we can make any kind of diagnosis off of your description. I have seen patients describe their papules as blisters or describe their ulcers as lesions. I of course do not blame them because all these terms have specific technical definitions used by Doctors. The issue I want to point out is that there is definitely something lost in translation when you try to describe the thing on your skin.

So as Hunkydunky correctly pointed you, the standard response is "Pls see a doctor"
Not to come off as rude but I had previously visited a doctor and gotten tested. Which came back negative. Just wondering if perhaps I tested too early or something. I'm not against visiting a doctor again but would like to know if i should wait for abit longer before going again.
