I have a group of very itchy bumps on the back of BOTH of my calves for 5 months, what is this ?

Question

the bumps seem to be where my hair folicle resides and the bumps arent red until i scratch, they are the color of my skin. Also it seems to spread a little to my schin and arround my leg. the bumps are only visible and feelable when i scratch unless i rub really hard accross them then i can feel them under my skin. Its not a plant or allergic reaction so i dont know how to treat it.... i put so lotrimin ultra to check and see if it was a fungus but to no avail....also some cortizone cream and that only made it burn...some help??? i am also on antibiotic penacillin and a joint medication consisting of chondroitin and glucosimine if that means nething...some help???!!! P.S. i am 17 years old with no prior health concerns or problems

Answer 1

you may be mildly allergic to the penecillin, suggest you ask your doctor.

Answer 2

I agree you need to see a doctor. But it sounds exactly what I went through recently, and it did last a while, although not five months.

I was told it was possible excema or a heat rash. I was told to use hydrocortizone, and it went away.

Mine was the same way. It was skin color unless I scratched it. Also the bumps were very tiny.

I don't know if it the same thing. But it sure sounds familiar.

Answer 3

it may just be spots forming under the skin it will be OK they will burst in a few weeks and it can corse itching
hope iv helped

Answer 4

you should probably go see a doctor. i dont mean to scare you or anything, but its best to go sooner than later incase something is wrong. maybe its a rash? cuz i get rashes too, around my legs.
