Suggest Treatment For Itchy Red Bumps On The Arms , Legs And Lower Back

I have very itchy red bumps on my arms, upper legs, and lower back. I have tried various types of relief, but nothing has worked. They are oozing a yellowish liquid after I wash them down. I am always trying nor to scratch. I have tried hydrocortisone cream, and gold bond anti-itch, neither have worked.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of itchy red bumps on the arms , legs and lower back which could be due to blockage of sebaceous glands as these areas have rich number of sebaceous glands. It could be due to allergic reaction leading to dermatitis and hair follicle infection by bacteria. You should not touch or prick these areas. Need not to worry. Apply topical antibiotic cream such as neosporin 2% on it. take a course of antibiotic Tablet. You should rinse the area with mild antiseptic solution like Savlon twice a day. Take a course of Amoxicillin with Clavulanic acid twice a day for 5 days. Visit dermatologist once and get it examined and start treatment after proper prescription. You should take proper course of antibiotics after prescription.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
