[|Human|] I have red bumps showing up all over my body. They are very sore, filled with blood and puss, warm and hard to the touch. It takes about a week for it to scab up. One will pop up and a few days later another one appears. They are pretty big. What could this be?
[|AI|]  Hello, Welcome to ChatDoctorThanks for posting your query in Chat Doctor. Your symptoms are most probably suggestive of Staphylococcal infections. It is usually caused by bacterium Staphylococcus aureus. It may be a boil or folliculitis. Staphylococcal folliculitis affects hair follicles on the face, scalp, neck, trunk or limbs but not the hands, soles and mucous membranes where there are no hair follicles. Folliculitis usually appears as a group of red bumps, which may develop into pus-filled blisters. I would advise you to go for topical antibacterial treatment like Juridic acid and mupirocin. Treatment should last up to 10 days. To prevent getting such infections, follow these measures:1. Regularly wash hands, avoid nose picking, nails biting and skin scratching.2. Wear fresh, comfortable, airy clothes.3. Do not share razors, towels, clothes, bed lining with others. Thank you
