Hi my name is Kathy, I have a 13 year old daughter who recently notice a few small pink-like bumps on the under side of her left arm and two of the same looking bumps next to her left boob area. at first I thought it might be a skin ttag at first. Later, I thought they maybe some sort of pimple, but now, I m not sure because they are still there and might have add another. What do you think these could be?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of small, pink bumps around the arms and breasts which occurs due to infection of hair follicles leading to folliculitis. It could be due to contact dermatitis and allergic reaction of body. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to get hormone levels monitored. Make use of product containing benzoyl peroxide. Take Multivitamin supplements. Apply topical antibacterial ointment such as mupirocin and apply cold compresses on bumps to reduce redness and swelling . Drink plenty of water daily and add fresh fruits and vegetables to your diet. Apply Adapalene gel once at night. Also wash your face with mild soap and cold water twice a day , exfoliate your face once a week , apply aloe vera gel and apply azelaic acid containing cream twice a day.If condition doesn't start getting better in a month then consult dermatologist.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
