Hello,
a few days ago I noticed these red bumps all over my right leg. At first i thought they were spider bits. Now I'm staring to get them on my left leg. They're red with whiteheads and they hurt. I pop them to release the pain. What can I do other then to shell out some money to see a doctor?

did u wax ur legs by any chance? or do anything to your legs? It could be bacteria and when your popping them and touching ur other leg they could be contagious and spread to ur second leg....i had something like this...had to take antibiotics - go see the dr.

They could also be cysts. My sister gets them on her legs. The are sore and red, sometimes even a purpleish tint
