What Treatment Do You Suggest For Pimples On Abdomen, Arm Pit And Thighs?
I have about 10 pimple like bumps on my lower abdomen that begin like pimples with Whiteheads then pop and become red and dry but do not go away but scar pretty badly. I have had the same thing under my right arm pit on and off. Also there is a similar patch albeit with smaller bumps that were puss filled on my upper thigh. I am very active in tennis and biking and am overweight. I have had warts on my penis years ago which I believe was HPV.

Hi,
I can understand your concern for pimples like thing on abdomen, arm pit and thighs
I can make out two possibilities of the problem:
1. Molluscum contagiosum: A viral infection of skin manifested as pearl like bead on the skin.
2. Sebaceous cysts: A collection of cheezy material in oil glands.
Now both of these are benign and treatable conditions by simple and cheap methods like excision or cautery in few minutes. You can meet a dermatologist who can guide you the best or can send the complete history with a photograph to our forum to get the best of the help.
With best health wishes.
