This is definitely a medical issue. Please advise your friend to contact her doctor and to ask specific questions. If she is on medication, she needs to know what it is for and the side effects. Doctors do the best they can but sometimes you have to ask more questions to be sure you understand. This sounds very serious.

My thought is that what is in these bumps is what the body cannot process or rid through the colon or urinary tract. The skin is the next cleaning organ and if the liver cannot handle something, it can come out on the skin. She can help her digestive tract and urinary tract by drinking a lot of water BUT this is not enough to cure this problem. She must contact her doctor to find out if she is harming her internal organs as well.

Also, tell her to stop squeezing the bumps until she knows what is causing them. She could scar herself badly. Tell her to keep her skin clean and to use the least chemicals as possible.

I study herbs and research many skin conditions but there are times for a doctors care and my suggestion is that this is one of them.
