I have pimples all over my body, what should I do?

28-year-old woman2 years ago
Hello, for the past 3 days I have had large red pimples with pus all over my body - it almost looks like chicken pox. The pimples are getting bigger and are very painful. I have been to a cottage and stayed in a spa for a long time with other people, however I am the only one who has this.

Hello ma'am, I'm sorry to read about your troubles!
It is impossible to determine what to do without seeing the lesions in question, would you be able to upload some well-lit photos, and tell me exactly where they are?

Thanks for the feedback!
After seeing the images, I think you'll need to see a doctor due to their wide distribution on the body.
In the meantime, if you are itchy, and drowsiness is not a problem (for example, if you don't have to drive or perform a task requiring alertness), taking Benadryl might help. Otherwise, Reactin would cause less drowsiness. Your pharmacist will be able to tell you the dosages if you go ahead with this.
Applying a cream such as Aveeno as often as needed may also help with the itching: there is no maximum application during the day. Avoid rubbing yourself with the towel after the shower, I suggest instead to lightly pat and apply the cream quickly after getting out of the shower.
I will be available if you have any further questions!
