Suggest Treatment For A Red Bump On The Leg

I have a red bump the size of a pinky nail on my leg. It disappears so much I haven t been able to see a doctor about it. It is slightly raised and in the shape of a square. It doesn t itch or hurt. Its starting to get darker every time it reappears. It is always in the same spot. Is this bad? How do I go about getting it fixed or looked at?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of red bump on the leg which occurs due to infection of hair follicles leading to folliculitis and due to blockage of clogged pores of sebaceous gland filled with sebum ,dead skin and bacteria get infected. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to get hormone levels monitored. Take Multivitamin supplements. Drink plenty of water daily and add fresh fruits and vegetables to your diet. Apply topical antibacterial ointment such as mupirocin and do yoga and meditation daily. Apply Adapalene gel once at night. Also wash your face with mild soap and cold water twice a day , exfoliate your face once a week , apply aloe vera gel and apply azelaic acid containing cream twice a day.If condition doesn't start getting better in a month then consult dermatologist.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
