Noticed A Bump And Redness Around Arm,leg And Hip
My husband has a hard bump on his arm, leg, and back left hip. They look similar to spider bites. One has a red circle around it. There was a type of puss, but when we put a warm rag on it it popped on it's own. What do you think this is? Should we get him to the doctor?

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. Your condition is most likely Tinea corporis, a fungal infection. A seconary bacterial infection can give a pus also. For Tenia i treat my patients with clotrimazole or miconazole with antibacterials like neomycin containing ointments for local application and Fluconazole tablets weekly once for 4 weeks. Better to show a dermatologist and confirm it.Hope this may help you.
Let me know if you have any further query.
