Buruli UlcersBrucelosisI only suggest those two as Ive had a patient with the first one who served in the Middle East, and initially a differential was the second. We also get the Buruli ulcers here, but we call them Bairnsdale ulcersId suggest an infectious diseases specialist.What is a burn pit?Oddly enough I couldnt link the WHO page for the first one.
Unexplained Wounds need help to find answersMy husband served over in Iraq in 2011 and came home due to a machine gun falling on his groin and he had to have nerve blocks. 4 years later he started developing these ulcers that in a matter of hours would turn necrotic. When he was over in Irag he was stationed near burn pits. We've been to countless specialists such as dermatology, infectious disease, rheumatology, wound care. We've been to 10 different hospitals and not one doctor can find the cause of this. For about 2 years we thought it was Pyroderma Gangernosum, but with PG if you cut into it, it will make it worse. With my husband it helps. We have become so hopeless and this is so debilitating. Hes lost countless jobs we are praying to find answers and find someone who has this awful disease that may know what it is. My Husband is 27 years of age 5 ft 5 he weighs 200lbs doesnt smoke or drink. unexplained Wounds
