Hello,
Without examination, confirmation of a diagnosis is tough but it sounds like erythema nodosum. It results in reddish, painful, tender lumps most commonly located in the front of the legs below the knees.
Diagnosis is by physical examination and biopsy of the lesion. Other lab investigations like complete blood count, ESR,ASO titer, urinalysis, throat culture, intradermal tuberculin test, and chest x-ray may also be done.
I wuld recommend a physician/dermatologist’s evaluation. Treatment depends on the confirmation of diagnosis.The other possibilities are bed bug bites,allergic reaction or contact dermatitis.
I hope that helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional doubts.Kind regards.
Hi,
Thanks for your reply. The pic you see above was on day 3, today is day 9. I had been waiting so long as some of the red bumps were going off on their own. But yesterday, i broke out with a whole lot of them and decided medication was required urgently.This evening i am going to a family doctor, will let you know what he says.
