Suggest Treatment For Itchy Buttocks And Lower Back
26, 5'4. Starting 2 days ago, my lower buttox itches. My lower back itches as well but not as bad as my lower buttox. I haven't had sex since February but back in March/April, I had similar itching but I had a few bumps. But it went away after about 2 weeks. It feels better after I take a shower but I can feel it later on in the day. I have no rashes or bumps. Do you know what it might be?

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query.Your problem is most likely a fungal infection, Tenia corporis.For my patients with such case i advise antifungal ointments like clotrimazole or terbinafine.I also advise them oral fluconazole tab weekly once for 1 month to stop recurrance.It is also recommended to change sweaty clothes at time and keep the area dry.Hope this may help you.
Let me know if you have any further query.
