Hello was wondering if you could help me with the situation im going through at the moment. I ve been on antibiotics for about a year from having mild acne I m on hormone antibiotics for the acne but ever since I have took them 6months ago I have have just three bumps/cysts that have appeared on the bottom of my leg and thigh which is just one leg. I went to the doctors she gave me some cream because I have acne on the back of my legs but that has only just started about 6months the same time but the cream hasn t worked I ve itched in so hard I ve scarred my leg but yet it still is there. These lumps/cysts are so itchy there red and skin deep I can t tell if there is any liqued in there because they are quite hard they don t skwish in. Please please could you help me im having a nightmare and the more they itch the more they show up and go red. The only thing I could suggest is I changed antibiotics to different ones 6months ago so I m not to sure if I m allergic but surely they would be everywhere and not just on one leg.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have severe acne and lumps on leg which is mainly due to clogging of skin pores. It could be due to bacterial infection which is recurring. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to start with topical antibacterial ointment such as mupirocin 2%. Drink plenty of water. Don't use ant cosmetics and hard substances. Apply vitamin E oil at night. Visit dermatologist once and get it examined and start treatment after proper prescription. Wash your skin 2-3 times a day with mild soap and warm water to prevent the accumulation of oil ,dust and bacteria on your skin.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well soon.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
