Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query your mom have symptoms of small bumps on the lower legs which occurs because these areas are rich in sebaceous glands and pores of glands gets blocked. It is due to extreme body skin sensitivity as well. It is due to infection of hair follicle by bacteria as well. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to wear loose clothes. You should apply topical antibacterial ointment such as bacitracin. You should visit dermatologist once and get it examined and start treatment after complete examination. Don't use any cosmetics and hard substances on lower legs. Take diet rich in vitamin E. Avoid sharing clothes with anyone.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
