Suggest Treatment For Red And Swollen Bumps On The Buttocks
I was laying in bed a few days ago when i noticed my butt was beginning to itch quite a bit and mostly in the crack area. I didn t pay much attention at first but the itching got worse and after a short time i began to feel bumps everywhere. I now have red swollen bumps from the top of my butt crack to the bottom. They ve been there for several days. At first i thought maybe bed bugs but i wash my sheets frequently....help

Hello,
It could be eczema. We have to rule out other causes like underlying abscess also.
As first-line management, you can apply low potency steroid creams like betamethasone for symptomatic relief. If the lesion persists, it is better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
