Suggest Remedy For Severe Red Bumps On The Forearm, Ear And Chin
Last weekend, I developed small, red bumps on the insides of my forearms, behind my left ear, under my chin - various other parts of my body. They are NOT bed bug bites. I have not eaten any new foods and have not changed soaps/laundry detergents. They itch and if scratched, the tops come off and leave a hole that takes a long time to heal...????
Hi. As per your case history you are having allergic dermatitis. My treatment advice is - 1. Don't squeeze the lesions as it may worsen the condition. 2. Apply a mild antibiotic plus steroid cream like fusiderm-b cream twice daily on it. 3. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetrizine twice daily for itching. 4. Other treatment options are oral antibiotics, oral steroid taken only after consulting a dermatologist.
Thanks. Dr. Harshit bhachech. MBBS, DDVL.
