I have been noticing small zits or pimples braking out all over my body. There very itchy and I can squeeze them like pimple. I m 54 years old and this has been a problem for about 5-6 months. I also have a jock itch that won t go away with Tinactin or OTC meds.
Hi. As per your case history you are having papular urticaria or allergic dermatitis. My treatment advice is - 1. Avoid using any new products like soap or perfume. 2. Don't take any medication without consulting a doctor as it may worsen the condition. 3. Apply a soothing lotion like calamine lotion on affected region twice daily. 4. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetrizine twice daily for 7-10 days. 5. Other treatment options are oral antibiotics, oral steroid taken only after consulting a dermatologist.
Thanks. Dr. Harshit bhachech. MBBS, DDVL.
