Introduction
Bumps and small red spots on the skin may be caused by acne, pityriasis rosea, folliculitis, or other conditions, and timely medical treatment at a hospital is necessary. Folliculitis is usually caused by bacterial infection. Due to inflammatory irritation, it may lead to skin papules accompanied by pain. Treatment under a doctor's guidance may include medications such as cefuroxime axetil tablets or antofloxacin hydrochloride tablets.

Skin bumps accompanied by small red spots may be caused by acne, pityriasis rosea, folliculitis, or other conditions, and timely medical treatment at a hospital is necessary. Specific causes are as follows:

1. Acne

This is typically a chronic inflammatory skin condition affecting the pilosebaceous unit, primarily presenting with polymorphic skin lesions such as red papules and pustules. Pressing on the affected area may cause mild pain. Treatment may include topical application of adapalene gel or fusidic acid cream under medical guidance.

2. Pityriasis Rosea

This condition is usually triggered by fungal infection and may also be associated with viral infections and autoimmune factors. It commonly affects young and middle-aged individuals and may present as isolated pinkish-red patches, with oval or round lesions. Under medical supervision, medications such as mizolastine sustained-release tablets or compound qingdai tablets may be used for treatment.

3. Folliculitis

This is typically caused by bacterial infection. Due to inflammatory irritation, skin papules may develop, often accompanied by pain. Treatment under medical guidance may include cefuroxime axetil tablets or antofloxacin hydrochloride tablets.

In addition to the above causes, similar symptoms may also result from allergic purpura, papular urticaria, or cherry hemangiomas. Regular physical exercise can help improve personal immunity.
