What Causes Yellowish Pus Filled Blisters On The Arms?
my arms started to have spots that were filled with pus and after a week or so , my arm has started to hurt and they are now scabs with some pus inside. the scabs are yellowish also. i dont know how to stop because even if i take off the scab it becomes yellowish again
Removing the scabs alone will not relieve the symptoms and you need to consult an Infectious diseases specialist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigation like blood test can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..
You can be advised a course of Oral antibiotics along with anti inflammatory painkillers and topical application of antibiotic ointment along with maintaining proper cleanliness to relieve the symptoms.. Injectable antibiotics can also be advised..
Hope this helps..
Regards..
