What Causes Red And Fluid Filled Bumps ?

I have had red bumps on my stomach that itch for the last couple months. I haven taken antibiotics and used tea tree oil to no avail. These bumps start out red then end up with a white fluid filled center. Started with just one or 2, but now they have spread to my chest area and are now spreading lower. Do you know what this might be?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have red and fluid filled bumps on chest area and spreading to lower area is because of folliculitis. It could be erythematous lesions with pus in center of the lesions and bacterial infection of hair follicle. I would suggest you to consult dermatologist once and get it examined. Start treatment after proper prescription. You should take Amoxycillin in combination with clavulanic acid thrice daily. You should take anti inflammatory drugs like numesulide daily till you get good result. You should take antibacterial cream/ointment 2% mupirocin can be applied twice daily.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
