Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of swollen bumps on back and inner thigh which occurs due to infection of hair follicles, stress, anxiety, clogged pores of sebaceous glands of skin with dead bacteria, sleeplessness, drugs like steroids and oily food. Need not to worry. Take antibiotic like azithromycin 500 mg. You should wash area with neutrogena oil free. Apply Adapalene gel once at night. If condition doesn't improve in a month then consult dermatologist for proper evaluation. Doctor may prescribe hydroquinone cream , retinoids or recommend procedures like laser therapy and dermabrasion. Wash these areas with mild soap and cold water twice a day , exfoliate your skin once a week , apply aloe vera gel and apply azelaic acid containing cream twice a day.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
