Pediatrician,  's  Response
It seems like as strepto-staphilococcal infection, like as furunculosis. The cause of furunculosis is bacteria which spread from existing infections to nearby hair follicles. Many other causes of furunculosis have been suggested, therefore, such as insanitary personal habits or surroundings, anemia, hypoproteinemia, low general or local resistance to the infection, hyperglycemia, low metabolic rate . Reflecting this uncertainty of causation, next therapeutic measures will recommend: don't eat too much sugar, wash legs with antibacterial soap-for example, dettol. If you will have reccurent infection then apply chloramphenikol 1% on the red bumps for resolution and antibacterial effects.

Best regards
