Suggest Remedy For Pus Filled Bumps On Buttocks Spreading To Back

In the last few months, something crawls under my skin. Little pus bumps began at the bottom of my body. Now they ve worked their way up to my neck and in my hair. I was exposed to some form of bacteria in 2009 by living near a landfill. I think the water was contaminated. We ve moved to a place in the rural area and again, we have well water. No one can figure this out.

Hi,

It seems that most probably you suffer from bacterial skin infection called impetigo. You consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis. Blood test may be done to rule out DM,HIV or other immunocompromised conditions. After thorough examination and investigations, he might give a course of antibiotics,anti inflammatory drugs and local application of antibiotic cream. If any disease is found,it should be treated.

I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
