Suggest Treatment For Red Bumps On Feet, Ankles And Lower Legs

Hello, Woke up 3-4 mornings ago with Small red bumps on feet, ankles and lower legs. They are deep red ranging from size pin head to nail head, slightly raised w/ a slight head very little to zero itching. When squeezed a clear liquid came out. Have not diminished any but have not gotten worse or developed any additional bumps. During the week prior to onset of bumps, I did lawn & garden work.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,

As per your description, these small red bumps are most likely a boil. It could also be cyst,hematoma etc but it needs to be inspected at least once to make a diagnosis clear.

You will require antibiotics ( cephalosporins preferred),antihistames with analgesics and anti-inflammatory to get rid off that.

There is no need to apply neosporin rather you take antibiotics orally and after treatment it might burst out leading to pus drainage or fluid drainage.

You wash them with savlon and water.

Only 3 days course of antibiotics Would be sufficient.

Consult some local doctor or Go for further advise.

Regards,
