Itchy Red Bumps Throughout The Body, Some With Pus, Relieves On Scratching. On Cephalexin For Folliculitis. What Could This Be?
Hi, I have itchy red bumps all over my body. some have pus. They do not burn and scratching relieves the itching. I had been diagnosed with folliculitis and given cephalexin to take 2 times a day for a week but it did not do anything. I have been itchy for 2 months now. I know it s contagious because I gave it to my boyfriend. Do you know what this could be? I have taken loratadine and benadryl to help with the itching and it barely works. itchy, itchy, itchy!
