Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of large itchy bumps which occurs due to infection of hair follicles and could be due to contact dermatitis.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to apply topical antibacterial ointment such as mupirocin. Drink plenty of water daily and add fresh fruits and vegetables to your diet. Clean area with mild soap and cold water twice a day and apply aloe vera gel .

If condition doesn't start getting better in a month then consult dermatologist and start traetment as per that.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
