Suggest Treatment For Red And Itchy Bumps On The Body

Posted on Fri, 23 Dec 2016

Question: So I went to the doctor for this after I was told it could be a cyst on here. They said it was not a cyst and it looked like a bad bug/spider bite that got infected and cellulitis. They prescribed me Clindamycin 300mg every 6 hours. I started taking it Friday morning at 130am. They also poked it and said there is no infection internally. I have attached pictures as something just came out of it and now there is a hole. Can you tell me if this is normal?

Can't see any pictures, upload again

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
I am unable to see any pictures.
According to your complaints it seems to be normal but infection will take time to settle.
I would recommend you to upload the photographs of the affected areas again so that I can have a clearer picture of the condition and can guide you accordingly.
Regards
Dr Asmeet

Brief Answer:
No need to worry, will settle gradually with antibiotics

Detailed Answer:
I have reviewed the attached photographs and you seem to be having pyoderma which is infection of the skin.
The material which came out looks like pus which indicates infective pathology.
No need to worry as it will take time to settle.
You need to continue with the antibiotics and the hole will also subside gradually.
