Suggest Treatment For Tiny Non-itchy Red Bumps On My Skin
I have this tiny red dot on my leg. it s really small and itchless. I had one on my arm a week ago but it s disappeared. it seems to not be on the surface of my skin. they also just come one at a time, not a cluster or a rash, just one dot. I was just wondering what this could possibly be and if it s normal?

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of tiny non-itchy red bumps on your skin of legs which could be due to abundance o sebaceous glands in this area and due to clogging of sebaceous glands with dead bacteria and sebum as excessive glands are there. It is due to bacterial infection of thigh area which is leading to folliculitis. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to keep the area clean and maintain proper hygiene and dryness. Take oral antibiotics as well. Visit dermatologist once and get it examined and start treatment after proper prescription. You can go for peeling as well. Wash properly with cold water and apply topical antibacterial cream bacitracin.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
