How To Treat A Itchy Bump At The Back?

Hi, Last week I notice a bump on my back, it was itchy so I scratched it. The next day another showed up on my back and after 4 days my back and rear of my arms have bumps on them. I have been tacking Benadryl for the last 2 days but the itching has not stop. Any suggestions?

Hi,

As per your query you have symptoms of an itchy bump on the back which occurs due to clogged pores of sebaceous glands of skin with dead bacteria, nail infection and could be due to an allergic reaction.

Need not to worry. You should wash the area with Neutrogena oil free. Apply Adapalene gel once at night. Take antibiotic like azithromycin. If the condition doesn't improve in a month then consult a dermatologist for proper evaluation. The doctor may prescribe hydroquinone cream, retinoids. Wash these areas with mild soap and cold water twice a day.

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

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
