Hi,

As per your query you have symptoms of dark spots on the lower leg which seems to be due to hair follicle infection leading to folliculitis.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to apply topical antibacterial ointment. Visit dermatologist once if symptoms keeps on persisting. Start treatment after complete examination and proper prescription.

You should get skin patch test and allergy test done to find out exact cause of disease and start treatment accordingly. You should wear loose clothes and avoid sharing them with anyone.

You should apply Betnovate ointment on them 2-3 times a day. You should avoid touching or pricking spots.

You should take course of oral antibiotics. Maintain complete hygiene and keep the area little dry.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
