Suggest Medication For Pustules On Forearm And Shin
I have small pustules on my forearms and left shin. I looked at one under a high powered magnifier to determine they are pustules. They are very small and feel like bumps. they occasionally itch very badly but aren t painful. I ve had them for 10 days.

Hi,
It may be folliculitis most probably.... inflammatory lesions of hair follicles of unknown origin. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. A course of antibiotic like Doxycycline 100 mg twice a day for two weeks might improve the condition.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Ilyas Patel, Dermatologist
