Suggest Treatment For Red And Painful Bumps On The Legs
I have bumps that first come on red and painful then they get like a yellow pimple. When the bust they clear up and goes away leaving a spot almost like a scar. I got them first under my breast I thought it was caused from heat but now there on my legs and on my little finger.

Hi Dear,
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of red and painful bumps on the legs 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. It could be due to allergic reaction to grass and due to insect bite as well. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to apply topical antibacterial ointment such as mupirocin and do yoga and meditation daily. You should get hormone levels monitored. Make use of product containing benzoyl peroxide. Take Multivitamin supplements.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. Drink plenty of water daily and add fresh fruits and vegetables to your diet.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
