My 13 yr old son has small itchy bumps on his legs stomach arms and upper back. Nowhere else. No known allergies. No bedbugs or fleas in home. Doesn t seem to be a heat rash however it itches more after he has played and gotten hot. Any ideas? He is miserable.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your child have small itchy bumps on legs, stomach, arm and upper back which seems to be due to hair follicle infection by bacteria and as sebaceous glands are abundant there so clogging of skin pores by bacteria, debris and dead decaying substances. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to maintain cleaniness of area and keep it dry. You should take diet rich in multivitamins and apply betnovate cream 2-3 times a day. You should apply topical antibacterial ointment mucopirn on it. Avoid touching or pricking it. You should apply vitamin E Oil at night as well. Wear loose clothes. Take oral antibiotic course as well. Visit dermatologist once and get it examined and start treatment after proper prescription.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
