Suggest Treatment For Rashes On Legs And Butt

Hello. Recently for about 2-3 weeks I ve been having rashes on my legs and now starting on my butt. A little on my arms but mainly the legs. Usually I have one little itch then when I itch it it becomes really itchy and becomes a group of round bumps. The bumps look kinda like mosquito bites but they aren t. Some of them leave tiny dark spots and some leave dark scabs. I have no idea what this is. What is this and how do I treat/get rid of it.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You can apply Hydrocortisone ointment locally & take antihistamines. Sometimes coconut oil & Aloe Vera moisturizer works well. However, you need to check out your mattress on which you sleep for bugs. Maintain your hygiene, have protected sex. Butt rash can be due to contact dermatitis, heat rash, ring worm, shingles or herpes. If the infection spreads you should get examined & get STD test done. You may need oral antibiotics or anti-viral medications.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
