My Unknown Winter Medical Issue

I'm not looking for a diagnosis but maybe someone might find it interesting. Some insight might be helpful though.
For years now I have had a bizarre medical issue that only occurs in fall. The weather sometimes seems to not even matter, it just happens in fall.
It started with a sort of boil above my tail bone. It turned into an ulcer. A crater, and it hurt a bit and was annoying.
But then it started spreading. It spread along my back like acne and that acne always turns into an ulcer/crater but I don't even touch it, it just happens.
They get so bad they leave scars because they spontaneously become wounds. But then there's somethign else about my skin, that feels weird. Like tight, really tight and itchy like it doesn't fit on my skeleton and then it begins to flake, but there seems to be no location where it flakes off, it just does. Like tiny, tiny scales, hard and shit when I scratch my skin and rub them off.
It's fucking bizarre, probably not the weirdest of things but kinda weird.
Been to a doc twice and they've told me 'staph' and 'it's just acne' but i don't believe that shit. It obviously wasn't staph and it's obviously not just acne.
Anyone else experience something similar?
(it's 3am, i'm tired as fuck, this is probably a stupid idea and stupid thing to post here)

Re: My Unknown Winter Medical Issue

The first things i would think of it ifs only in fall is possibly vitamin d deficiency or some sort of reaction to central heating etc....

Good call. Has at least one of those doctors been a dermatologist? That's who you should be seeing.

Possibly Hidradenitis Supprativa. See a dermatologist.
