Suggest Treatment For Itchiness On The Buttocks

Had a spot like itch on bum cheek for some weeks, but couldn t shift it. When scratching other night, removed something I could only describe like a small grain of rice (torpedo shaped) which was transparent. When squezzed it wasn t hard, but did squash flat. Any ideas? Area is still sore, even when walking.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have itchiness on the buttocks which seems to be due to improper cleanliness of area, due to hair follicle infection by bacteria, clogging of skin pores and due to fungal infection. Need not to worry. You should avoid sharing your clothes with anyone else. I would suggest you to maintain cleanliness of area and keep it dry. You should apply topical antibacterial ointment mupirocin on it. Avoid touching or pricking it. Wear loose clothes. Take oral antibiotic course as well. Visit dermatologist once and get it examined and start treatment after proper prescription. You should take complete antibiotic course.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
