What Causes Pimples On The Legs?

I have been getting many pimples on my legs lately. Which is unusual for me. I have eczema and my skin is sensitive. I get more than just a couple, I get a lot. Some of them stay small and some grow very large. If I pop it, it gets very difficult to touch because it hurts and a big red ring forms around my popped pimple. They appear in my inner thigh, around my knees, back of my legs, and I got one on my arm. I moisturize daily, nothing with a lot of fragrances or unnatural ingredients.

Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have pimple on legs which is mainly as you developed folliculitis over the legs and due to allergic reaction as well.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to keep area clean and dry. Avoid exposure to oily, greasy and sharp food substances. Apply cotton dipped in tea tree oil and apply them on scars. Visit dermatologist once and get it examined and go for micro-peeling and dermabrasion. Take diet rich in vitamin E. You can take oral course of antibiotics as well. Drink plenty of water. Clean the area with lukewarm water twice a day and apply an antibiotic cream like mupirocin gel over the area twice daily.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
