red itchy sores

[HeartOfCountry]

I  have 3  spots on  my  body.  one on my pelvic,  one on  my  back and one on  my  hip.  they  start out as a  tiny  skin  colored  bump. similar to a  mosquito  bite.  but  then when I  scratch them  they turn into  dry  red  blisters or  what looks  like  boils after they pop.   but they  don't hurt or ooze  they  just itch.  And  they wont  go away.  it started with the one on my hip.  didn't think  anything of  it.  then on my back.  And those have been there for  over a  month.  the one on my pelvic is  most recent and I  don't know  what it is or  how to  treat it.  the only  environmental  thing that's  changed  is  my  house.  but  no one else has them.  would really appreciate some advice.

how do you treat a  staoh infection

[Bhupinder Kaur, MD]

Hello,
It can be infective hair follicles or boils. Boils are caused by infection of the hair follicle by staph aureus. . Hair follicles that are blocked by greasy creams, petroleum jelly, or similar products are more vulnerable to infection. Bacterial skin infections can be spread by shared cosmetics or washcloths, close human contact, or by contact with pus from a boil or carbuncle. Treatment includes antibiotics and incision and drainage and do not touch or pick them up. Also apply warm compresses on the lumps.
