the bumps seem to be where my hair folicle resides and the bumps arent red until i scratch, they are the color of my skin. Also it seems to spread a little to my schin and arround my leg. the bumps are only visible and feelable when i scratch unless i rub really hard accross them then i can feel them under my skin. Its not a plant or allergic reaction so i dont know how to treat it.... i put so lotrimin ultra to check and see if it was a fungus but to no avail....also some cortizone cream and that only made it burn...some help??? i am also on antibiotic penacillin and a joint medication consisting of chondroitin and glucosimine if that means nething...some help???!!! P.S. i am 17 years old with no prior health concerns or problems
I have a group of very itchy bumps on the back of BOTH of my calves for 5 months, what is this ?i have this same problem and was told that it is ingrown hairs; the way to stop this is scrub your legs when in the shower/bath everyday and after moisturize...this encourages the hair to grow in the right direction and stops the lumps
however, my problem is a mixture of this and eczema...i would recommend going to a doctor so as to rule out eczema and, if it is eczema, your doctor will give you more information and maybe medication to solve this problem for you
