    ooh I had one a few years ago on the back of my calf. Was basically a 10c coin sized thing that took about a year to go away. Got it from down the bellarine where it’s quite common. For me it was really mild / didn’t hurt or itch. Interestingly the bacteria belongs to the same family as tuberculosis and leprosy.

      Mine started like a ringworm looking thing, so I treated it accordingly and it flared up massively and popped up in a couple of other places on my biceps and thighs. Then I went to the Dr and he thought it was Impetigo so prescribed me antibiotics for a week. It did nothing and during that week spread even worse. Now I have open ulcerating wounds on my thighs and biceps, with other spots like the original ones popping up on my calves and lower arms 😳😳😳
