What Causes Itchy Bumps On The Thighs With White Heads?
I have itchy bumps between upper thighs (by vagina) they have white centers on them, but never break open. If I itch them, they just get red. They have spread lower on my thighs and itch a lot. They have been there for over a month. What could this be?

Hi,
As you said you have whitish papular eruptions on upper thighs and vulva. The lesions are spreading to other parts. Probably it may be molluscum contagiosum. It is a viral disease caused by pox virus. It is an infectious disease. However, you consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis and treatment. The lesions may be removed by him doing electrocautery under local anaesthesia. The lesions may be cauterised. You may become alright. I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
