Itchy Rashes On Tail Bone, Raised With Red Bumps. Massive Headache, Went Away With Advil. Related?

i have a rash only on my tail bone about the size silver dollar. That is the only place that it is. Raised with red bumps , but not pussy , has gotten a little bit larger over the last 24 hours. I also had a massive headache today as well. Not sure if they were connected. Headache went away with taking Advil . Rash is mildly itchy.

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello,
Thanks for the query,

I dont think these two conditions are related.

You might have developed fungal infection.

The area of groin around groin is very moist and is prone to develop these infections.

Treatment can be with oral antifungals as well as with topical antifungals.

Various antifungal powders like candid are availabe.

These can help reduce the moisture as well as control the infection.

Please dont use any steroid, it can worsen your condition

Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.

Let me know if you have any other doubt.

you can ask a direct question to me on this forum, following the below link.
