I Ve Been Itching On Shoulders Arm S And All Of Legs
I ve been itching on shoulders arm s and all of legs and feet and getting sores same places they started on thighs but now my calves are starting to look brused in spots and the left calv is very sore when I take a step and weird looking patches on ankles dark or redish I popped a bump on calf and blood looked black but it started to run like water almost it was just really dark red
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of itching on shoulders arms and all of legs which is very common as dirt and moisture get trapped by your clothing and the friction that comes from sitting can cause pimple. It could be due to blockage of sebaceous glands leading to folliculitis or boils. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to keep this area clean and dry. You should apply cream containing azelaic acid and apply cold compresses with soaked towel to reduce the redness and itchiness and apply vitamin C serum at night. If condition doesn't get better then consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor will examine physically along with blood test and sample for lab test. Doctor may prescribe immunosuppressants , antibiotics like clindamycin , anti inflammatory or anti fungal . Doctor may also prescribe benzoyl peroxide ointment.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
