Shoot. Well, if you already went in for a biopsy then it’s probably not folliculitis which is caused by staph and I can’t imagine they wouldn’t have tested for that. The doctor didn’t suggest any ‘shot in the dark’ treatments?
Hm… I actually just did an extensive google search (because I might have a little bit of OCD tendencies when it comes to researcher the interwebz for skin lesions) of all the symptoms (gelly, spiny, spikey, scab, lesion, root) and descriptions you’ve provided and all I can come up with is morgellons… which is a bit of a head-scratcher, so to speak.
Google ‘scab with roots’.

Are fungal infections ever gel-like?
