Suggest Treatment For Red Raised Oozing Bumps On The Chest, Back And Legs
My son, 40 years old has a lot of raised red bumps primarily covering his feet an ankles but there are a few on his chest, back and legs. They are individual bumps and are oozing clear liquid. He has been using cortisone cream, alcohol and apple vinegar and nothing seems to help
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have red raised oozing bumps on the chest, back and legs which seems to be due to bacterial infection leading to folliculitis and it could be due to allergic reaction. Need not to worry. You should wash area with neutrogena oil free. Apply Adapalene gel once at night. Take antibiotic like azithromycin 500 mg. If condition doesn't improve in a month then consult dermatologist for proper evaluation. Doctor may prescribe hydroquinone cream and retinoids. Wash these areas with mild soap and cold water twice a day , exfoliate your skin once a week , apply aloe vera gel and apply azelaic acid containing cream twice a day.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon. Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
