Hi,

I can understand your concern for the red and white bumps on thighs.

I can make a possibility of Molluscum contagiousm. These are whitish colored pearly bumps which remains for multiple months.

The only precaution you must follow is not to touch, pinch pop or squeeze any of them other wise it can get infected and can cause complications.

You can meet a dermatologist for simple excision or removal of the bumps in few minutes.
Take care.
