Guest guest Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Hello Bee & everyone, I have this inflamed bump/sore on my shin that I've had since I got burnt badly in Panama in December. Sometimes, it seems to go away and then it always comes back. It almost looks like a big ingrown hair bump or a boil or something. I've tried putting aloe (the bottled stuff), coconut oil and even cod liver oil and it doesn't seem to be going away. I went to dermatologist today and she numbed it and took a biopsy of it (I know, not good) and is sending to the lab to see if it is infected. It hurt like crazy even though she numbed me. She now advises that I change dressing every day and use hydrogen peroxide & a zinc oxide ointment. Just curious what you all think. Has anyone ever had this? I can't think of any time in my past that I've had this so I don't think it is retracing. It concerns me though because this is where I got burnt. I've read raw honey does wonders on wounds, inflammation, and sores. I've also read that apple cider vinegar is good too. Any ideas on how to help along? Thanks!!
