Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of bumps on the body which is a common skin condition in which hair follicles become inflamed which is usually caused by a bacterial or fungal infection leading to folliculitis. Major reason for its occurrence is friction and other reasons are heat , sweat and dermatitis. need not to worry. I would suggest you to keep that area dry , wear loose cloths. You should apply a warm, moist washcloth or compress and apply soothing lotions. You should gently wash the infected skin twice a day with antibacterial soap. Consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may prescribe antibacterial or antifungal medicine along with procedure like laser hair removal and light therapy. Take diet rich in fluids.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
