I tend to get them mostly on my chest area where I have alot of hair located. I told my doc about it he says it's a bacterial infection due to diabetes. I hate getting these ugly bumps
Yeah they are not nice and can be quite painful at times. I use an over the counter product called Crystaderm. It contains hydrogen peroxide, which is basically bleach, and its amazing how well it works sometimes if I catch the infection early. I apply the cream generously at night, and cover it with a dressing to keep it there if necessary. Next morning the bump has often reduced in size.
I recommend going to the doctor or a nurse if it's bad though, because antibiotic tablets are sometimes needed. You can get prescription antibiotic creams but they don't really work, in my experience.
I once had one of these infections on my leg and it turned into an abscess, requiring surgery to drain. In a case like that, you should go straight to A&E if you're unable to get a doctor or nurse appointment that day. I was told that diabetics are at increased risk of skin abscesses.
