Suggest Treatment For Small Hard Bumps On The Legs

Hi I have lots of flat skin colored small bumps on the inside of my legs , when I pop them no fluid no pus and no blood comes out of them . They are very hard to see unless the lighting is in them good and then you can see lots of them. Any ideas on what they may be their not painful and do not itch there just not very attractive ?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of small hard bumps on the legs which seems to be due to hair follicle infection leading to folliculitis and it could be due to poor immunity of body leading to formation of furuncle or boil. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to apply topical antibacterial ointment. You should maintain complete hygiene. You should wear loose clothes and avoid sharing them with anyone. You should avoid touching or pricking bumps. You should apply betnovate ointment on them 2-3 times a day. You should take course of oral antibiotics. Maintain complete hygiene and keep area little dry. Visit dermatologist once if symptoms keeps on persisting. Start treatment after complete examination and proper prescription. You should get skin patch test and allergy test done to find out exact cause of disease and start treatment accordingly.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
