Suggest Remedy For Red Circles Appearing On The Buttocks
I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH MRSA AFTER HAVING A SKIN CANCER REMOVED ON MY LEG BEHIND MY KNEE. I TOOK BACTRIN FOR 2 WEEKS. THE INCISION IS HEALING, CLOSED, BUT STILL A LITTLE RED. I NOW HAVE A RED CIRCLE ON MY BUTTOCKS LIGHTER IN THE MIDDLE THAT SEEMS TO BE GETTING LARGER. IT HAS BEEN THERE FOR ABOUT 5 DAYS. IS THIS MRSA ALSO? DO I NEED MORE ANTIBIOTICS?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Those red circles could be Tinea (Fungal infection). For that you should initiate Antifungal therapy. So, please do consult your Dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis and to initiate proper treatment.
