Suggest Treatment For Acne On The Legs
I have red spots with a very small white center on my lower legs. Right now I have about 9 spots in all on one leg and a couple on the other leg. They do itch and I just got home from working a 12 hour day in very hot humid conditions in a plant. I ve never had anything like this before. What can it be?

Hi,
You seem to have superficial folliculitis. You consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis. However,I would suggest as follow..
- antibitiotics like cefuroxime 200 mg twice a day for one week
- anti inflammatory drugs like nimesulide 200 mg twice a day for one week
- apply antibiotic cream
- to relieve itch take antihistaminics
- avoid soap bath
- cleanse the area with dettol liq in water
I hope this would help you..
Thanks.
