Question 1

hi i was wondering what does it mean when you get random pimples with pus in them around your body and they hurt?

Accepted Answer

Pimples: It is probably a form of folliculitis. See your doctor or dermatologist for evaluation an treatment. The pustules can be cultured to see if there is a specific type of bacteria present.  Both topical and systemic therapies can be instituted.

Accepted Answer

There : There is a possibility that she could have molluscum contagiousum which is caused by a wart like virus.  They look like little red or flesh colored bumps with a small hole in the middle that occasionally has a white, thick discharge.  It commonly affects children and usually goes away within a year without treatment.  Picking or squeezing them can cause spreading and/or an infection, so it is not advised.  Below i've attached a website with more information about them.

If the spots start to develop on her face, appear to be infected, seem to be worsening, or if you think they are not molluscum, then give her doctor a call.  Good luck!

Question 3

within 2 days i've noticed large sized pimples popping up in random spots on my body. my period is expected in 2 weeks but this never happens.

Accepted Answer

Pimples: Not enough information, do  they hurt, or are they itchy?  It is hard to tell without seeing  them. It is best if you see your doctor.

Accepted Answer

Not MRSA : What you describe seems to be a viral exanthem. This is very likely since you teach preschoolers and they carry these viruses.  Exposure is highest when school first reconvenes in the fall.  Please see your doctor for a definitive diagnosis.

Question 5

how to remove pimples on your body?

Accepted Answer

Pimple Info: Pimples occur when glands in our skin get blocked and what they secrete collects and causes pressure. The immediate response is inflammation (red, hot, tender swelling). This is the body increasing the blood flow to the injury to bring healing factors to the area and also the veins expand to carry bad stuff away. Gentle cleansing and avoid picking/squeezing lets nature take its course.

Question 6

small pimples on back side of body?

Accepted Answer

Folliculitis: What you are describing sounds a lot like folliculitis (hair follicle infection - mild).  Often, the best approach is to use an acne-type body wash with benzoyl peroxide (bpo).  Bpo is over-the-counter and well tolerated.   Use it in the shower daily and try to leave it on for a couple minutes.  If this doesn't help after a week, then see your doctor for help and guidance.

Question 7

can pimples form anywhere on your body?

Accepted Answer

Acne locations: Pimples are more common in some areas than others, but can occasionally occur almost anywhere. But not on the palms of the hands or soles of the feet, and very uncommon below the elbows or knees.

Question 8

what are the causes of big pimples on my body that hurt?

Accepted Answer

Acne?: If this is nodulocystic acne on your trunk, you're going to need to get with a dermatologist for Isotretinoin treatment before you end up mutilated. If it is not, a dermatology consult is indicated in any case to rule out such entities as dermatitis herpetiformis or dozens of others. Best wishes.

Question 9

hi. these small pimples keep appearing on my body everywhere.. it's hard to even see them they are that small and flesh coloured.. but they itch like crazy. and keep appearing everywhere?

Accepted Answer

Please have your: doctor examine you so that you can be properly diagnosed and treated. It is difficult to make a diagnosis without seeing the rash. If you have no medical contraindication to doing so, you could take a non-sedating antihistamine meanwhile to relieve the itching.

Question 10

random bad pimples for no reason! what do i do?

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: At the age of 44 one shouldn't normally get the type of acne one had as a teenager. If you are getting pus-filled lesions then you may have a bacterial infection that would need treating. See a doctor to have one or two of these lesions cultures to ensure an appropriate antibiotic is used.
