How To Treat A Pimple Like Growth On Arm?

i have this pimple-like growth on my left arm and a little on my right. I have no fever but i experience body malaise because of the many trips i had. i also had workouts days before it appeared. I suspect this growth as a staphylococcus infection because of its appearance (small abscess just above my sweat glands or hair in my skin) and its kinda itchy sometimes. How to treat or manage this problem?

Hello,

I would recommend you to apply topical antibiotic like neosporin ointment or fusidic acid cream on the affected area twice daily. This should resolve your problem.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
