I’m almost 3 years into my CLL diagnosis with fatigue being my main symptom. But lately I’ve been getting these large sores that look like a small boil that itch, hang around for a few day and dry out my skin then go away?
I also have been getting small patches of little tiny blisters that come and go in the same spot.
Thank you!
You might need a prescription for a strong steroid cream…just a thought.

Be careful with steroid creams on faces......Steroid creams can leach deep into the skin, and damage the eyes.
Please take pictures if you can to show this "cycle" to a doctor. Skin infections or inflammatory conditions may indicate your immune system is struggling. It may be nothing, but IMO it doesn't hurt to check.
Thank you! I will do that my next visit.
I'll mention that if those boils or blisters are surrounded by a raised red patch, you might want to circle it with a marker or waterproof eyeliner or pencil, monitor it, and see a doctor sooner rather than later. A boil could be a Staph infection, which in normal immune people they generally can fight off. The patch of blisters might possibly be a shingles or other herpes cropping up. I get about 1 infection a year of some sort, mostly skin, and it has varied from Staph to herpes to fungus. Getting it treated early means I have never been hospitalized from them, I don't have scarring from extensive skin involvement, and I suffer less itching/pain or whatever.
Thanks I’ll get it checked out! 😃
