Suggest treatment for raised bumps on back,feet and hands
Patient: Hi my question is i a rash on my bottom of my back and on the sides of my feet and the Palms of my hands. They are litte raised bumps which are not going away. But are getting better but ha s been over four weeks. I have been given steriod lotions. That is working but very slow. I am not sure what i can do. Can you give me some advice. Thanks Brenda Doctor: Hi Dear,Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of raised bumps on back,feet and hands which seems to be due to bacterial infection leading to folliculitis and it could be due to allergic reaction. Need not to worry. You should wash area with neutrogena oil free. Apply Adapalene gel once at night. Take antibiotic like azithromycin 500 mg. If condition doesn't improve in a month then consult dermatologist for proper evaluation. Doctor may prescribe hydroquinone cream and retinoids. Wash these areas with mild soap and cold water twice a day , exfoliate your skin once a week , apply aloe vera gel and apply azelaic acid containing cream twice a day. Hope your concern has been resolved.Best Wishes,Dr. Harry Maheshwari
