Suggest A Remedy For Dark, Itchy Patch On Buttocks

I had these dark itchy bumps on s single dark patch on my buttocks for about a year. A few weeks ago it s started itching out of nowhere and a few days later I had a boil. It came to a head pop, drained and had since healed. But that dark itchy patch is still there the area still itches really bad. What is that itchy black spot? And how can I stop the itching?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having some local skin problem like dermatitis or fungal infection.
Due to having more perspiration at this site might precipitate problem.
Apply triple action cream locally.
Take Benadryl or cetrizine for itching.
Avoid more perspiration and more friction.
Wear cotton inner wears.
Ok and take care.
