Suggest Cure For Circular Bumps In The Calf Area
I have circular bumps about 1/4 to 1/2 inch in diameter dark pink slightly raised. Yellow looking halo surrounding each one. Started in lower left calf, next day started on other calf and has now gone up both legs and now upon right hip. About 50 on each leg. going on for 3 days. I took Benadryl last night for itching relieved itching but bumps increased this morning. No drainage, no fever or any other symptoms. I had a cortisone shot 2 weeks ago for poison oak. These areas do not resemble poison oak. I have not eaten anything or put anything unusual on my skin. Please help

Hello,
Thanks for the query,
You might have developed fungal infection.
Your description matches with that.
Usually fungal infections are itchy and recurrent.
Please get a KOH mount done,
This can confirm the fungal etiology.
Treatment can be with oral antifungals as well as with topical antifungals.
Treatment must be continued for at least a month to prevent recurrance.
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
