This is the first time I have had this, since closure. I did not have IFB or Crohn's. I did not have IBD. It started as a small red "pimple looking" thing that was just annoying, I used calmoseptine and nitroglycerin salve on it....it got bigger (alot bigger) and, after hot soaks in epsom salts, started to drain (blood and clear fluid) Now, my face is swollen, I have two "bumps" (like spider bites) on my thighs and a slight fever --99.9...my surgeon is 5 hours away and I have no car air conditioning, but I will go if someone tells me they know what it is and I should...my local doc is Medicaid-only and does not examine me "like that" (ie he has never even seen my stomach scars or j pouch AND DOES NOT WISH TO--he is Pakistani--no, I am not racist or sexist- and worked at a VA--all men---for 25 yrs...no I cannot get another family doc...I am female) Please help-....thanks

You absolutely need to see someone. This is probably not something that can diagnosed over the internet. It doesn't matter whether the doctor does not wish to see your scars. And he can't 'see' your j-pouch unless a scope is performed. Please don't compromise your health. See someone immediately. Then that person can figure out if you need to drive to see your surgeon.

(You should also private message Jan Dollar and run the symptoms by her.)
