Suggest Treatment For Pimples All Over My Back, Chest And Shoulders

I have been getting what look like pimples all over my back, chest & shoulders but when I try to squeeze then because they look like they are infected, nothing at all ever comes out & so e if them become larger bumps under my skin, it seems like they ve started since I had problems last year that the dr couldn t figure out what was wrong. Didn t know if it could be related to last year, but since they couldn t come up with what was wrong, it s hard to figure out. All the dr was able to figure out last year was he told me I had a septic limb. I had a red patch on the inside of my elbow & a red line shit up to my underarm & a rope like shape protruded frominside my upper arm, from then my arm started swelling in different parts throughout the days even swelled down I to my hand. It felt as though I had a rubber band around my wrist, that was the sensation I had in that hand, & I still have that same sensation from time to time in that hand. They couldn t figure what was causing all these symptoms in my arm. They prescribed me steroids& antibiotics but still no answers. After the red line went away & swelling went down I still had what looked like a deep scar in my upper arm where the red line once was & since then I ve had these issues with what looks like acne in my upper back, shoulders & chest but like I said, they do not drain anything but some stay as lumps & are painful when touched

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have pimples all over back, chest and shoulders which seems to be due to hair follicle infection by bacteria and clogging of sebaceous glands of skin pores by bacteria and debris. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to maintain cleaniness of these areas and keep it dry. Moisturize areas with aloe vera gel You should apply topical antibacterial ointment mucopirn on it. Avoid touching or pricking it. Take diet rich in multivitamins and drink plenty of fluids. Wear loose clothes. Take oral antibiotic course as well. Visit dermatologist once and get it examined and start treatment after proper prescription.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
