Suggest Remedy For Painfull Spots In Lower Back

Hi I have a few of these large boil like spots on my lower back they seem to go and then come again. They are quite painful to touch. I ve been reading online about carbuncles and I m thinking that maybe this is what they are. I did squeeze them I know I probably shouldn t have. I m in china and really don t want to go to a hospital is there anything you can recommend? Should I keep them covered?

Dermatologist, Dr. Ilyas Patel's Response

Hi,

It seems that you suffer from pyoderma. You may go to nearby general practitioner. After thorough examination he may give proper antibiotics and antiinflammatory drugs.

Also topical antibiotic cream may be advised. You should improve immunity by nutritious diet and exercise.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr Ilyas Patel, Dermatologist
