What Is The Large Swollen Pimple On Back Of Thigh ?
Hi, my 10 yr old daughter has a large swollen pimple on back of her thigh. I squeezed ooze out with q-tips and put antibiotic ointment on it. She also has about 7 other white raised bumps that don't look like pimples. What do u think this could be?

Hi,
Pimple like lesions on thigh might be small sebaceous cysts. They are benign cysts. Sometime they may be secondarily infected by bacteria. And that is why they should be removed. The cysts may be removed surgically under local anaesthesia. It is simple minor surgery done in OPD. YOU CONSULT DERMATOLOGIST OR SURGEON. I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
