@baunch Yes, the pattern is very familiar. I started getting spots and nodules about 2-3 weeks after my fall into the bushes. Felt like ants biting under the skin, they then ulcerated and produced hard nodules and black hard filaments that came to the top and the skin turned pinkish purple. They traveled up my arms and spread to my face, ear canals and fingers. The scars from those that heal are also purple. All are in complete circles. It has taken 7 months of Itraconazole and topical Ketoconazole to see a difference, but it has changed for the better. I found that warm salt water soaks and Neosporin pain cream helps. I pray you can get this resolved.
