Hello - I hope I can help. Let me ask a few questions first.

 

Do you have HIV or other cause of immunodeficiency?

When was the Kaposi's diagnosed?

Did you ever have it Biopsied?

What type do you have ? classic, endemic, iatrogenic or AIDS associated?

Do you have a doctor and if so what have they told you?

never been diagnoised with hiv. I shaved my stomach then pustules that had the appearance of ingrown hairs appeared. There was 2 at first, they went away in 4 days time after popping them. Then 2 more appeared pretty close to the same location around the belly button. They lasted about the same, then my girlfriend got one. It lasted for about 3 or 4 days. About a week later i got 2 on my right shoulder blade, then one on my left wrist, then one on my right index finger, then 2 on left shoulder blade, one on each arm, now i got 2 or 3 on my legs. I started using a bacterial soap, the pustules are varly noticable now and they have slowed. From start to finish they never came more than 1 or 2 at a time. the ones on my stomach hurt like a ingrown hair but the others don't really have a disconfert at all. My girlfriend got 1 again on her left knee. Now she has a bruise on her right leg, she thinks maybe she bumped her leg. The bruise is healing up though. What could this be doc.

Sorry - I was offline. Have you gone to see a dermatologist? Did someone tell you that this was Kaspoi's? Did they biopsy the lesions? mek775240134.6758543634
