I have sent pics of bumps on my right buttocks and my back this is after just taking a bath in XXXXXXX dish washing liquid and Clorox I read this would kill certain parasites. The second pics are pictures taken in my car after the first first onset of skin issues I was scratching my leg and it appears these things formed 2-3 days later I was not in the car for at least 3 days. When I was scratching it was almost like popping dry bubbles and when I took a bath immediately afterwards it was like a massive amount of dead skin cells were coming off especially on my left leg and foot the foot on bottom and sides it was almost gumy like with a yellow color and when dried was white

Brief Answer:
Moisturizer, topical steroid and oral antihistamine

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

I have viewed the images. You seem to have a chronic eczematous skin condition. First of all, I suggest you to use a moisturizer, frequently. In addition to the moisturizer, you may apply a moderately potent topical steroid e.g either Mometasone Furoate Cream or Triamcinolone Acetonide Cream, twice daily for the patches.

These are prescription topical medications and you may talk to your local practitioner for a prescription of the same. I also suggest you to take an oral antihistamine e.g Cetrizine tab once every evening for symptomatic relief from itching.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Thank you.

Brief Answer:
Regarding your skin concerns

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

You seem to have impetigo which is a skin and soft tissue infection - grouped small blisters with ring shaped arrangement that finally crust over. The boils in underarms are furuncules with cellulitis. I suggest a course of an oral antibiotics e.g either Amoxicillin or Cephalexin, thrice daily for a week.

Perhaps you have toenail fungus which is the reason for discoloration. I would recommend you to go for a fungal culture from nail clipping. If that comes positive, you would need an oral anti fungal e.g tab Fluconazole of terbinafine. You may take an oral antihistamine e.g Cetrizine tab once every evening for symptomatic relief from itching.

Kindly get back to me after a week once you are done with all this, for further assessment.
