Bumps on the hands and legs. What should I do? Suggest!!
-
Hello, I am 19 years old. I have been observing the bumps on my hands and my legs. They are not very itchy but they do cause some sort of itching sometimes. I'm worried because a lot of them suddenly popped up in a very short period of time. They're not very itchy and I tried searching online but couldn't find what they're called. Any help would be appreciated. Please suggest what can I do? Thank You!

@portia Hello, the ideal thing is to see a dermatologist as soon as possible. If these bumps don’t itch then it must be folliculitis. that is ingrown hairs. This is very common on the arms, groin, legs, and armpits, and usually appears after shaving or when wearing very tight clothing. You can try exfoliating. Skin bumps can vary in appearance and number depending on the cause. Most skin bumps don’t need treatment. However, you should speak with your doctor if your bumps are causing discomfort. Thanks!
