What Causes A Circular Purple Discolored Growing Spot On The Buttocks?
I have a perfect circle on my left buttock that has grown in size. I first noticed it probably 4-5 months ago. It started small and is purple-ish in color. It has since then grown slightly to 1/2 inch in diameter and is also indented. The dent was very noticeable to me today as I happened to run my hand over that spot without looking and felt it. It does not hurt, itch, burn, etc.

Hello,
I think this can be a fungal skin infection.
You may try to use clotrimazole cream or Lamisil to apply.
If it still doesn't get better you may need to visit a dermatologist.
Using oral antifungals such fluconazole may be useful.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
