Skin bumps

Good day. Recently developed these skin bumps. First on my head then moved to my torso areas. They were raised. Not itchy or sore. Doctor tried prednisone without any luck. Then was prescribed hydroxyzine also with any luck. Head bumps cleared up however I am still getting new bumps on my side of torso and legs. Any thoughts?

Re: Skin bumps

Hi Razor2222,

Unfortunately we are unable to we are unable to give out specific medical advice or make any diagnoses on the forum. We recommend contacting your Doctor's surgery and asking for them to look at your notes. The Dr should have confirmed what they are as treatment was prescribed.

Please find a link to common skin conditions/bumps with pictures for you to compare to:

Otherwise, hopefully other members may recognise what the bumps are and advise you.

Kind regards

Re: Skin bumps

Sounds like you need antibiotics. Speak to the doctor, i am sure it is curable however you need to nip it in the bud before it gets worse, because its harder to treat down the line.
