Suggest Treatment For Pimple-like Bumps On Knee

Hi. I have a small group of 5-6 small white bubles/bumps on my knee that looks like pimples. First i thought they are and tried to squeezed them but then found out its something else. Also the position is weird because they are in a circle. They are white and a little bit red on the side. They appeared on my red skin(Because there used to be a big wound) some time ago but they dont seem to grow or spread. Do you have any idea what they might be? Should I be concerned? Thank you in advance

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of pimple-like bumps on knee which occur due to presence of excessive sebaceous gland sin that area and clogging of skin pores. I would suggest you to :-

- Maintain complete hygiene of the area.

- Wash knee area with cold water and mild soap twice a day .

- Exfoliate your skin once a week to remove the dead skin and bacteria .

- Apply broad spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 even if your are not under sun exposure to prevent your skin from further damage .

- Apply kojic acid cream at night which is a natural extract of mushroom , very effective and safe for long term use.

- Avoid use of steroids.

If condition doesn't start getting better then consult dermatologist for proper examination.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
