Suggest Treatment For Pimples, Tiny Raised Bumps On Thighs
I have small tiny raised bumps on my thighs. I have had them since I can remember and they won't go away. They are red and black pimples almost. When you run your hand on my thigh you can feel it and they never go away. They can't be popped like a pimple and don't hurt. They aren't attractive and I am embarrassed to wear shorts. They do start to go away if I tan though.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of pimples, tiny raised bumps on thighs 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 thight arae 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 . Doctor may prescribe procedure like chemical peeling , microdermabrassin. Doctor may prescribe antibiotic therapy to you.
Drink at least 8-9 glasses f water daily and eat citrus fruits.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
