General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

I read your message and understood your problem.

Can you send me photos of your red and white pimples? Also, please mention to me other symptoms you may have so I can tell you what it might be. Do your symptoms appear only during night or you have them all the time?

If your daily activities involves sweating a lot, that can explain your symptoms. However, I'm thinking over a possible skin infection for which antibiotics are required to take orally.

Keep good personal hygiene. Wash your body with antibacterial soap. Can apply antibacterial cream mixed with anti-itching cream locally for at least 5 days. Can find them over the counter.

If still no improvement, dermatologist to consult for further evaluations and treatment.


Hope this helped.
