I have had this for weeks now, and I'm pretty sick of it. It started as what seemed like some kind of bug bite, or zit type thing, but turned into this round, itchy rash.
This pic (hope the link works) is the first one I took after I started to think "what the heck is this?"

I still wasn't that worried, until it got bigger, as well as slightly infected and swollen. That's when I went to the clinic here in my little town.

They didn't completely know what it was. They figured it was some sort of skin infection thing. So they gave me some Cortisone cream and some antibiotics to take 3 times a day.
The cream didn't do anything, so I started putting some antibiotic ointment on it. After a few days it seemed to be clearing up. So I stopped worrying about it.
But then some other ones showed up! They started the same way, and I immediately started putting the antibiotic ointment on them. They seem like they aren't going to get as bad as the first one, but it's hard to tell.

But just this morning a couple of tiny brand new ones showed up!
They don't really itch any more, and they don't cause me extreme discomfort. But I would like to know what they are, and how to get rid of them for good. Because it seems to be a never ending cycle now, and I'm sick of having to bandage up my leg to keep my jeans from rubbing them. And I don't have much confidence in our small town clinic :/ I don't want to go there again.
Help!!
