Should I Visit A Doctor For Little Boils On My Hands And Feet?

I was wondering if there is anything I can get to help with a rash that I have recently gotten. It looks like little boils on my hands and feet. I do have eczema not sure if it is the same though?

Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of little boils on my hands and feet which seems to be due to bacterial infection leading to folliculitis and it could be due to allergic reaction.

Need not to worry. You should wash area with neutrogena oil free. Apply Adapalene gel once at night. Take antibiotic like azithromycin 500 mg. If condition doesn't improve in a month then consult dermatologist for proper evaluation. Doctor may prescribe hydroquinone cream and retinoids. Wash these areas with mild soap and cold water twice a day , exfoliate your skin once a week , apply aloe vera gel and apply azelaic acid containing cream twice a day.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
