What To Do For The Bumps On The Back?
I had some bumps on my back that I thought something bit me. They were white with a black dot in the middle. They itch and hurt to scratch, I have been putting aloe Vera plant on them they have dried up but are still very sensitive and hurt. They are like black scabs now.

Hi.
As per your case history you are having allergic dermatitis.
My treatment advice is -
1. Don't scratch the lesions as it may worsen the condition.
2. Apply a mild antibiotic cream like fusiderm cream twice daily on it.
3. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetrizine twice daily for 7-10 days.
4. Other treatment options are oral antibiotics, oral steroid taken only after consulting a dermatologist.
Thanks.
