How Can Itchy Scabs On The Torso And Back Be Treated?

I have pinprick scabs on my torso and back. Not a lot - maybe 10 - spread out. Most don t itch - one or two might occasionally. You can barely see them - but you can feel them if you run your hand over them. Not fluid filled or ed. I ve had them for years - they come and go over a long time.

Hi,

It looks like raised hair follicles and not a sign of any disease or skin condition. So my suggestion is to consult a physician as skin conditions are better understood when clinically seen.

You can also upload pictures on our forum so that we can see clinically and advise accordingly. Also, for now, you can apply Calamine lotion over them and also apply Muricoprin ointment.

Maintain a good hygiene practice.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
