Guest guest Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 Hi , When they first popped up, my oncologist sent me to a dermatologist who did biopsy them and cultured the fluid inside. It came back all okay, and he rattled off a great, long name that essentially said it was a side effect of drug use. So after multiple doctor visits, numerous checks and expense, I found my own self -diagnosis was as accurate as theirs! ha ha Thanks for the post.

I recommend you consider going to an infectious disease specialist next time this happens, and asking him/her to culture the fluid inside to see what sort of viruses might be lurking there. Or not; they probably won't be able to do much about it anyway. But it would be interesting to know, and if others were experiencing similar viruses, you might be able to publish it!
