Suggest Remedy For Red Pimples On Arms

Occasionally I had lots of small red bumpless dots on my arms, however they do not itch. They actually only appear for 15-20 minutes and then dissappear. But about everyday it reappears on my arms. I was wondering if it s something I should be worried about.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of red pimples on arms which seems to be due to hair follicle infection leading to folliculitis. It could be due to clogging of sebaceous glands by bacteria, debris and sebum as excessive glands are there. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to apply cream containing azealic acid. Take diet rich in multivitamins. Take oral antibiotics as well. Visit dermatologist once and get it examined and start treatment after proper prescription. You can go for laser therapy as well. You should keep the area clean and maintain proper hygiene and wash it properly with cold water and apply topical antibacterial cream 0.2% mucopiorin.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
