Hello,

You can get rid of itchy pus filled bumps by washing with Luke warm water & anti bacterial soap. Clean all your bedding & clothes with Savlon & antibacterial soap, do not share your toiletries. Do not scratch, the pus may cause spread. You can apply hydrocortisone cream in the affected area. Take a course of antihistamines & antibiotics (Cephalexin or Cipro or Doxy). However you are suggested to get examined by a dermatologist.

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

Regards,
