White Bumps on Skin are Irritated...how can I Treat them...p Posted: 02-07-06 13:20pm
well just recently two bumps appears as
pimples and have white puss like stuff
coming out of them one is on my arm by my
arm pit and it is very painful to the
touch it is as though it has a lot of
build up in i accidently messed with it
and it has turned into such as a sore all
scabbed up it it very red around it maybe
about and inch all the way around and it
hurts and seems to be very hot i also seem
to have one on my rear end but its not
scabbed up cuz i really couldnt mess with
it it hurts severely and seems to be
swollen on both rear and arm . i am trying
to figure out what it is it seems that
they showed up after a very stressful time
i was going through and the one on my rear
i squeezed it a lil and a head like a
pimple came out then so did some blood but
there seems to be a build up of fluid
inside both and wondering what they are
ive never had any thing like this severe
or painful like this!!!!! so i would like
to find out what it could be or just more
an understanding of it . it also seems to
be some what infected or lost of bacterial
stuff in it i keep cleaning it and
checking both of them hoping it will take
down some of the pain or swollenness it
also seems theres a break out of more of
them smaller on my rear end and they are
not painful appear to be puss like pimples
but seems to be not to bother just the two
really big one the one on my reare it
about two inches around swollen and every
sore it seems as though it hurts to put
pressure on either one of them on my arm
or rear . Thank you
The bumps you’ve described are probably
furuncles (inflammation of hair follicle)
or inflamed atheromas (inflammation of a
sebaceous gland). You can apply an
antibiotic balsam to the affected area or
can investigate surgical intervention
(incision), if necessary.
