Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query your mom have symptoms of red bumps on the legs which occurs due to infection of hair follicles, due to blockage of clogged pores and due to systemic conditions.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to apply topical antibacterial ointment such as mupirocin. You should get hormone levels monitored. Take Multivitamin supplements.Apply Adapalene gel once at night. If condition doesn't start getting better in a month then consult dermatologist and go for blood test and skin patch test and start treatment accordingly. Drink plenty of water daily and add fresh fruits and vegetables to your diet.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
