Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have bumps that cover thighs and behind your arms which seems to be due to bacterial infection in these areas leading to folliculitis. I would suggest you to apply betnovate on dark bumps twice a day for 2-3 days. Wash them with salicyclic acid containing body wash. If condition doesn't start getting better in a week then consult dermatologist for proper examination and treatment. Doctor may prescribe oral antibiotic along with chemical peeling. Avoid touching and pricking it with sharp objects. Exfoliate your skin one a week to remove the dead skin.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
