What Can I Do To Get Rid And Keep It From Coming Back A Sore Lump On The Buttocks?
Hi I have a painful lump on my lower right buttocks that flares up 2-4 times a year. Its round and very painful. There is never any fluid inside though so it doesn't sound like an abscess. Its on the outer part of cheek at the bottom,nowhere near "crack". What can I do to get rid of it and keep it from coming back?

Hi,
Welcome and thanks for posting your query to HCM. It appears from your query that you are having fungal infection of the skin which is spreading.
It is quite common in this hot weather to find fungal infection and the further spread of infection to nearby to other parts. The painful lumps cab be the part of same spreading fungal infection.
you can apply antifungal cream such as clotrimazole or terbinafine for two times in thin layer over the affected areas. The things will be alright in next 7-14 days.
To prevent the further spread maintain good hygiene by taking two times bath, wearing cotton clothes and change of clothes two times. You can also use nay good medicated antiperspirant powder. Stay away from hot and humid climate.
Take care
