What Can Be The Rash On My Buttocks For Over A Year?
I have had a rash on my buttocks for over a year. There is no itching, no pain and it did respond to Cipro which my doctor gave to me once. It came back 6 months later and she does not want to prescribe again. I have seen 2 dermatologist and they are stumped? They say they cannot biopsy since there is no raised bump. What is it? It definitely responds to cipro so it must be bacterial, correct???

Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to a bacterial infection.
I suggest using hydrogen peroxide to clean the area.
I also suggest using Neosporin cream for local application.
If the symptoms continue, you should use oral antibiotics.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
