Suggest Remedy For Circle Of Red Bumps Around Buttock Crack
hello Dr. A week ago I found a small circle of red bumps that developed around the top left of the crack of my buttox.They were itching. I squeezed them now they are scabing but others are forming again. I tried using cortisone but it s not helping.I thought they were bug bites but I guess not.

Hi
The kind of lesions you are developing could be due to some infection.
Especially considering the area where the lesions are developing, there is a possibility that these might be due to some viral infection like molluscum or they could be even due to some std,
So I would not suggest you to apply cortisone cream over them .
In fact if new lesions are still appearing ,you should better see a nearby doctor .
