What Do Red Bumps On My Stomach And Legs Indicate?

hello! over the past month or so i have noticed a few tiny red bumps on my stomach, over time it has spread to cover my entire stomach and now spreading down to my legs. i thought it was leas or bed bugs but my cats do not have fleas and i just got a new mattress a month ago. However i still sprayed my room, washed the sheets, etc. Now a few days after that i noticed more of the same small bumps spreading! please help!

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of red bumps on stomach and legs which occurs due to infection of hair follicles leading to folliculitis and due to blockage of clogged pores of sebaceous gland filled with sebum ,dead skin and bacteria get infected. Need not to worry. You should wear loose clothes to avoid friction. I would suggest you to get hormone levels monitored. Make use of product containing benzoyl peroxide. Take Multivitamin supplements. Apply topical antibacterial ointment such as mupirocin and do yoga and meditation daily. Drink plenty of water daily and add fresh fruits and vegetables to your diet. Apply Adapalene gel once at night. Also wash area with mild soap and cold water twice a day , exfoliate your face once a week , apply aloe vera gel and apply azelaic acid containing cream twice a day.If condition doesn't start getting better in a month then consult dermatologist and start treatment accordingly.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
