Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of small itchy bumps on the leg 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. You should maintain complete hygiene. I would suggest you to apply topical antibacterial ointment. 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
