What Causes Pus Filled Itchy Red Bumps On Body?
I have a break out of itchy red bumps on my legs, arms, stomach and buttocks. They are puss filled and leave dark marks when they go away. I ve had this for a month now and it starts off looking likean insect bite but develops into itchy red puss bumps and spreads all over my body. I went to a doctor and she said it was MRSA but I ve completed the treatment and now it s come back worse. Any idea what this could be?

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of pus filled itchy red bumps on body which is a common skin condition in which hair follicles become inflamed which is usually caused by a bacterial or fungal infection leading to ffolliculitis. Major reason for its occurrence is friction and other reasons are heat , sweat and dermatitis. need not to worry. I would suggest you to keep that area dry , wear loose cloths. You should apply a warm, moist washcloth or compress and apply soothing lotions. You should gently wash the infected skin twice a day with antibacterial soap. Take diet rich in fluids. Consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may prescribe antibacterial or antifungal medicine along with procedure like laser hair removal and light therapy .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
