my son has multiable pus bumps on his skin

Do you think it might be important to know where they are on your son?  How old your son is?  How they showed up?  Any other details about these bumps or any symptoms associated?  I left my crystal ball in my other sport coat.  Give details and I'll edit my answer later or tomorrow.\n\nIf there are many surface, possibly coalescing, "pus bumps" with a reddened base...this sounds like a contact dermatitis, like poison ivy or poison oak, but sometimes people can have strong reactions to other chemical agents etc...you didn't mention that there was itching, though.  You should use Domeboro solution - it is available at your local drug store.\n\nIf the pus bumps are associated with a hair follicle then this sounds like a folliculitis.  Essentially it is an infection of the hair shaft.  Oral or topical antibiotics are useful.  It is from the bacteria that is normally found on the skin.\n\nAlright that's the best I can guess given the information.  If it doesn't sound right, of course taking him into his pediatrician is a very good idea.  Good luck.

Sounds like he could have a hidden bacterial infection which could be treated with anti-biotics. This is a recent discovery over the past decades.

You should ask his doctor .... it could be different skin pigmentation . I had a friend in high school that had these spots, on her arms & hands, back and legs.

I had chicken pox(yes, confirmed by Doc, not shingles) when I was 23. It started out with feeling unwell then turned into pleurisy(inflammation of the lining of the lungs)and I whistled like a tea kettle and could not inhale deeply without doubling over.The next day the spots appeared. My sons were 1 and 4 at the time and I gave it to them. It lasted for weeks and I had to go to the doctors every other day so he could make sure I did not get pneumonia. I had them on my palms, my soles of my feet, even my gums!(couldn't brush because they'd pop and spread.) I laid on the couch sick as a dog for 2 weeks until the baby got them too.He was relentless because every time I would lay down he would come pick my spots.I have 3 scars on my face from him. We laugh about this now that he's 11 but it wasn't fun at the time.

I would take him back to the doctor.  I would think he needs to be re-evaluated.  Tell the doctor that you suspect it could be a yeast infection because he is itching.  Children can get yeast infections.  If it is, maybe they could prescribe some Nystatin. Also~ Don't forget to give him probiotics if it is yeast.  (Found at your local health food store)

Seriously, I believe I would take him to the doctor.  When I worked at dermatologist there was a lady that came in with big clear fluid filled blisters and they were some kind of bacterial infection and she had to take oral antibiotics.  If nothing else a doctor could probably give you a note to let him in school with socks only until it heels.  I really hope that he feels better.  Good Luck.

You need to see your doctor and/or a dermatologist. Have you used any new soaps, detergents, etc.?

Don't let bad opinions get you down.  :)  Every parent has a time, ok, MANY times when they are unsure of what to do.  Please don't think you are a bad parent as some have suggested.  If there is puss coming out of it, you should clean it with soap and water, try to gently rub away as much puss as you can, and then put an antibacterial cream on it.  Tomorrow call your doctor and see if you can get it looked at.  Some bugs, tics, crawl into the skin, and other bugs can leave quite a nasty little poison behind, not usually dangerous to the whole body, but can cause infection at the site of the bite.  Don't use peroxide on it.  Doctors have recently been saying that peroxide will help kill the poison/infection, but it will also kill all the helpful cells at the sight, and can help ruin the skin, and rarely can aid in scaring.  It's much better to clean the cut, bite out with warm soap and water.  But please do call your family doctor tomorrow just to make sure he doesn't want to check her out.  He will have heard of any dangerous insects around lately, and can tell you if she should be looked at.  Good luck, and thank you for asking, that is what shows you are a caring parent.

There are too many irregularities to be safe, go to a dermatologist ASAP and get a biopsy.

No, not from how you have described the situation. But you should be careful of infection. \n\nIf, at some point, it does not heal it might be a good idea to have a dermatologist biopsy or evaluate it for you. Keep an eye on it.\n\nIncidentally, when my son was little he had a mole on his neck that kept getting bigger so we had a surgeon remove it. We thought we were protecting him against cancer . . . little did we know that despite doing all we could to protect him a few years later he developed an abdominal cancer. All that time and we worried about the wrong thing! The mole was not the problem . . turns out the tumors were in his abdomen.

It could possibly be dermatitis or ezcema.  This will require morturizers along with a prescribed steroid cream.

it maybe some kind of allergy and derma pathology. seek consult with a dermatologist.

For two years I had skin outbreaks on my upper back, both upper arms and upper chest and on the left side of my face. They were insanely itchy and ranged in size from a small spot to the size of a bread and butter plate. For two yrs this was diagnosed as shingles even though all the creams medications and treatments were not working. Ive recently now been diagnosed with Lupus. This skin irritation is Discoid Lupus. There is no cure and its horrible. Sometimes i will not go outside for weeks because the outbreaks look like some dreaded catchy disease and I can imagine what people would think. There could be many things this could be. Plz go see your doctor. Don't leave it n accept one opinion. It could be something quite serious and the earlier its diagnosed the quicker you can get the relevant treatment. Good Luck. Hope its just a minor little problem.
