Boils without puss/ water
Hi, i have recently started getting boils/ danna...all over my arms and legs. There are a few in my face and back. Its been almost 3 weeks since it started..initially it looked like mosquito bites however due to the large amount of them spread all over i dont think its that. They itch a lot and after that leave a wound. Please help..this is the first time i have got something like this. I havent done or had something that was unusual so cnt even clearly say its allergy.. Please help.

Thanks for the query.
Based on your description it looks like a superficial bacterial infection usually caused by staphylococcus aureus. Sometimes they co-exist with fungal folliculitis.
Kindly consult a dermatologist for exact diagnosis and a precise treatment plan.
Its also important to prevent their relapse once you have treated them
