My son has a rash that started on his elbows and now is appearing on his legs and earlobes. The rash on his elbows are clusters of bumps but what s on his earlobes appear to be red and sore spots. The areas on his legs is similar to what is on his elbows. Now my other son has a similar rash on his face and leg. There has been no change in their diets. Any suggestions?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of cluster of bumps on the elbow which seems to be due to bacterial infection of hair follicles leading to folliculitis. It could be due to clogging of skin pores with bacteria and sebum. Need not to worry. Avoid touching or pricking these rashes. I would suggest you to maintain hygiene of area and apply antibacterial ointment on that. Avoid touching or pricking it with any sharp object. You should take proper oral antibiotic course. You should consult dermatologist if symptoms keeps on persisting and start treatment after proper prescription.


Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
