Hello,

Thanks for posting on HCM,

Well it is will be difficult to determine what type of lesions you are having without actually being able to see it. You might be having dermatitis (contact) or acne which could be spreading as such.
You may apply hydrocortisone 0.05% cream or tritinoin 0.05 cream to apply on the body where the lesions or bumps are.
See a dermatologist if they persist for a more accurate evaluation and specific treatment.

Hope this helps
