Suggest Remedy For Spots Appearing On The Buttocks

i have noticed the spots on my butt since four months ago, i have some scars and currently around 5 spots there at the moment , i have spots no where else on my body. my doctor said it could be friction and gave me antibiotics that did no good , my other doctor said its a build up of oil clogging pores so basically follicultis , though im not sure if this is exactly what i have since it was the doctor i visited not dermotoligist , i noticed that i seem to break out if i sweat or sit down for too long and sweat, i shower twice a day and am now using butt acne clearing lotion from green heart labs... is there any way i could stop these break outs? laser hair removal possibly? could it be an allergy? i need answers thanks

Hello,

I can understand your concern for the spots appearing on the buttocks. It appeared from your query that you have ringworm infection on buttock area.

Most of your symptoms indicate a fungal infection at the affected site. In your kind of cases I generally prescribe a course antifungals such as clotrimazole or miconazole or keoconazole cream to be applied at the affected site. An antihistamine is a must to reduce the intensity of itching. I suggest you to meet a doctor to get proper treatment.

All the best.
