Suggest Cure For Small Spots Appearing Around The Wrist

a cluster of small spots has appeared around the side of my right wrist- they are the same colour as my skin tone (not red or anything) and feel like nettle stings.. other spots have appeared on the sides of my fingers of the same arm- these are small and quite hard- almost feel like the hardness of a splinter under the skin.. ???

Hi.
As per your case history you are having furuncles.
My treatment advice is –

1. Don’t squeeze the lesions as it may worsen the condition.
2. Apply a mild antibiotic cream like fusiderm cream twice daily on it.
3. Take a NSAID like ibuprofen for 5-7 days.
4. Other treatment options are oral levofloxacin, cefadroxil and azithromycin given only after consulting a dermatologist.

Thanks.
