July 2nd I felt a slight sting in the middle of the night on my arm.
I brushed it and looked at it and it was just a red mark.

The next morning it looked like a VERY small mosquito bite, raised, red and itched a lot. Then it developed a small head.

Here it is 2 months later and it hasn't healed and still itches like heck. It has gotten bigger, looks exactly the same.

Anyone else have difficulty healing? (I know I have immune issues)

Thanks

I've been there. Consider soaking the general area in rosemary oil, and then cover the head with sulfur ointment. Here are two good products via Amazon:

Rosemary oil:

Sulfur ointment:

Thank you so much! I'm assuming its my immune system that isn't letting me heal but its driving me nuts!

Let me know how it goes with rosemary/sulfur, if problems persist I have one more trick for you to try.
