Suggest Treatment For Presence Of White Head Bumps On The Back Of Legs

I have a cluster of white head bumps on the back of my leg it is very painful to the touch and sometimes when I stand. About 2 years ago I had the same symptom and urgent care said it was a spider bite and I took medication and eventually it went away. But now it s back and more painful.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have presence of white head bumps on the back of legs . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like keratosis pilaris , folliculitis , eczema , hives , bug bites , infections and lipoma . I would suggest you to apply warm compresses , keep that area clean and dry , take benadryl twice a day and apply over the counter antibiotics cream . If condition doesn't get well then consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor will examine physically to check tenderness , movement and consistency . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics like minocyclin along with anti inflammatory , anti allergic or doctor may perform liposuction in case of lipoma .


Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwar
