Having multiple small pimples/boils
Hello Doctor,
My husband is having small multiple pimples/boils in his left hand wrist for the past 4 months. It was bigger in size but later it has reduced in size. We could not go to hospital because of this lock down. The problem now is, it is spreaded to his left hand elbow now. I can see 2 to 3 pimples in his left shoulder as well. Attached pics of the elbow.
Kindly suggest me on this

Hello,
This is molluscum contagiosum, it is caused by a virus. This is usually common in children but can happen to anyone. Nothing to worry.
If it is increasing, in your case has been increasing then has to be removed by a dermatologist or else it may increase further.
This can spread to others too, hence must be careful.
Next Steps
Consult a dermatologist near by your house and let them extract this. It's a very small, simple procedure and helps get rid of this.
Health Tips
avoid the spread by keeping clothes, bedhseet separately.
