On wednesday night I noticed a somewhat sore circular red-pinkish bump about 1 cm on the back of my right leg, in the fatty part. it looked just like a bug bite, but i kno it wasn't. It felt fatty too and in the center it looked like a small bit of the skin was removed, so i scratched it, and obviously more of the skin was removed. then over the next few days i got more of the similar bumps - one on by right butt cheek, one on the top of my left thigh, and one on the upper fatty part of the back of my left leg. I've noticed though that all of these bumps have only occured on the parts of my butt, legs, and thigh only where there is more fat. Would someone please tell me what this is or if they've had something similar? i'm very afraid of going to the doctor and would at least like to get an idea of what this is. i'm really freaking out and have been crying my eyes out!! I'm a 14 year old girl who has always been very healthy but has seasonal allergies.
Answer:
It is possible that your describing "boils." See the link below, for pictures and description of boils
It could just be a reaction to something. It could be a bacterial infection. Either way...you should go to a doctor. These things arent serious, but could become serious if ignored. They will most likely give you something topical to put on it like a cream or ointment.
1. Stop panicking
2. If they are on your thighs, there's a 99% chance that they are ingrown hairs. Get a tweezers pull the hair in the middle of the red bump and put a cool cloth on it to help the redness go down.
3. If its hot where you are its may also be heat rash.
i've kind of had symptoms like that, where they look like bug bites but i havent been around any bugs, so i was worried, but i found out it was foliculitis, which is just when your hair folicules get a little infected, like from shaving your legs, or tight clothing( jeans, or workout clothes), sweating etc. mine really itched too, so it sucked, but my md persrciped me some oral antibiotics, its really such a common thing, nothing weird or crazy. sometimes just making sure all your clothes are clean and washing ur sheets helps too, in the mean time you should also just wash your spots with dial antibacterial wash to help clean them. I would suggest asking your parents to take u to the md if they dont clear up with in a week or so, good luck!
