How To Treat Zit On My Left Leg?

3 months ago i had a zit on my left leg. I tried to pop it before it was ready and it became infected. Took antiobiotics and knocked it out. A month kater, same thing on my right leg. I was stupid and did the same thing got infected again, antiobiotics again. Now i have another one, havent touched it, it formed a white head, but its pretty big. I'm 44 yrs old, have had leg zits for a long time, but now they seem to be getting worse. Why?

Hello
Within a period of three months , you had three ZITS and pop it every time , got infection and took antibiotics .
The possibilities of such zits may be due to :
1 Some bacterial infection like staphylococcus or streptococcus or any any other bacteria . Diagnosis can be confirmed by blood culture or biopsy of affected parts.
2 The next reason of such zits may be due to dermatitis or eczematous dermatitis . Diagnosis can be confirmed by physical examination by a dermatologist .
3 At the age of 44 years sometimes due to lowering of immunity skin got infection.
So please consult a dermatologist and get his opinion.
