Suggest Cause For Pimple Like Red Dots On Inner Wrist
I have three red dots the size of a pimple on my inner wrist. Two are close together and one is slightly farther away and slightly larger. The larger one has a white center. All three are slightly raised from the skin, but are flat and not bulging. They do not itch, hurt, ooze, or pus and are not open. I was wonder if you have an idea of what this could be.

Hi,
As per your query you have symptoms of pimple like red dots on the inner wrist which occurs due to hair follicle infection and when pores of sebaceous gland filled with sebum, dead skin, and bacteria get infected. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to start with application of aloe vera gel and apply azelaic acid containing cream twice a day as this is safe and natural extract of cereals. You should apply topical antibacterial cream. Apply aloe vera gel to keep moist. I would suggest you to consult dermatologist once and get it examined. You should go for antibiotics (Clindamycin), a corticosteroid ointment, and hydroquinone. Do not scratch pimples as they will get infected. Avoid exposure to sunlight and keep areas clean and dry.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
