Suggest Treatment For A Red Bump On The Buttock
I have a raised red bump located just above the start of my buttock, mostly painless but hurts to pinch with nails but not to squeeze. It has been there for 2/3 weeks. It is raised and looks/feels like a zit but has nothing in it and it won t go away. Thank you for your help!

Hi,
Most probably you may be having folliculitis. It is an inflammation of hair follicle. Poor immunity and poor hygiene may be responsible.However, you consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis. However, you may follow as below...
- oral antibiotic
- anti inflammatory drugs
- Immunomodulators
- antibiotic cream
- bath with water mode with dettol
I hope this woul help you.
Thanks..
