Stomach,Sides.

by Emilyizzle, May 06, 2009 11:55AM
Okay since January....ive been getting these red bumps that appear out of no where and then they are gone. When it started in January me and my mom were thinking it was shingles. We went to the drs. and he said it was a staff infection or something Intero?
he perscribed me an antibiotic that i had to take four everyday.
but anyways they only appear either on the back of one shoulder 3 in a row. or somewhere on my torso on my stomach randomly or maybe one under my bustline they come and goe i have a picture
These ones are old...But they are lightening up..and going away. like all the past ones. but more will come back

Hello,
Without examination,confirmation of a diagnosis is tough but it sounds like folliculitis orinfected hair follicles.

Folliculitis is the inflammation of one or more hair follicles.It starts when hair follicles are damaged by friction from clothing or blockage of the follicle. In most cases of folliculitis,the damaged follicles are then infected with the bacteria Staphylococcus (staph).
Pls keep the area clean and apply some topical antiseptics. Also wear loose-fitting cotton clothing and use an antibacterial soap or mild soap like dove.Avoid any kind of cosmetics. Topical antibiotics such as mupirocin or neomycin containing ointment are also useful.In case the symptoms persist then oral antibiotics may be needed.Pls consult a dermatologist in that case.
Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional doubts. Kind regards.
