Have Pimples On Arms With Hard Pus Leaving Black Scars. Cause And Cure?
Hi, i have tiny pimples that appear on my arms that fill up with hard pus , they are not itchy but they look unpleasent and leave blackish scars on my upper arms. Sometimes they appear on my inner thigh and upper vaginal area but these rarely occur compared to the ones on my arms. Where do these come from and how to i get them to stop appearing, thank you.

Hello dear,
Thanks for writing to us.
Pus filled lesions on arm and back are acne.
acne is seen in areas rich of sebaceous glands.
face , arm , back and groin area have lot of sebaceous glands,
that is why you are having these lesions in groin area also.
Apply clindamycin gel, you will get relief with this.
For further details please meet a dermatologist
wishing you good health.
Thank you
