What Causes Red Bumps On The Upper Thigh Area?
I have several red bumps on my legs mostly on the upper thigh area but one or two on lower leg, the are filled with clear fluid but occasionally a more pussy white will come out of one. They have a red surrounding and a white head looking center. What are they any ideas?

Hi,
It seems that you might have folliculitis on thighs and legs. There may be erythematous lesions with pus in center of the lesions. They are painful. It is an infection of hair follicles, you consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis and threatment. Take antibiotics like cefixime 200 mg twice a day for one to two week. Take anti inflammatory dugs like numesulide 200 mg daily till you get good result. You may be alright. I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
