H.S. Battle

---

My story began at the age of 13. I had developed pneumonia. Shortly after getting treatment, I started to develop bumps on my inner thighs as well as my labia and vaginal lips. They were almost like pimples, but larger. They would hurt and pop on their own. As time passed the areas affected and the sizes of these pimples got bigger and bigger. When I graduated from High School, about 2 months later, I developed a large lump under my left armpit, I could not move it correctly, it was painful, it grew to a size of a small peach. It opened up when I was out with my parents. It was disqusting. The smell and the amount of pus was huge. My parents always blamed me for the stuff you are eating and the sodas you are drinking. They never took me to a doctor. I was on my own.
