Hi i had a outbreak of rashes on my arms, chest, neck and back, that iched very much. Alongside with that i have been having a constant runny or blocked nose and a heavy tired feeling in my head.
The rash has been treated and has gone but im now left with what looks like boils on my arms.

Hi

You seem to have developed lesions of folliculitis . This is basically a type of infection of the root of the hair follicles.
These lesions need proper management with both oral and topical antibiotic agents.
Local cleaning of the lesions is very important and should be done with a topical antiseptic lotion followed by application of a topical antibiotic cream like neosporin .
You might also need a course of oral antibiotics for your skin condition.
Do not apply any other oil or cream over the affected areas.

Hope it helps
