What Causes Acne Like Boils On Legs And Arms?
I started having a few acne like boils on my rear end. I ve been treating them with antiseptic ointment, tea tree oil, hot compress/bath with baking soda, rubbing alcohol and bandages. Now I am seeing more acne like boils (much smaller than the ones on my behind but there none-the-less) pop up on my legs and arms. What are these and what do I have to do to get rid of them? I try to treat myself and my family naturally but at this point I m starting to feel OCD and germaphobic. Please help me! Thank you :)

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, such skin lesion could be due to some infection and best drug to treat this is "Tab Cefdinir 300 mg" twice in day for 7 days, along with that topical antibiotic can be use and best would be "Povidone Iodine" cream hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
