Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have itchy spots that look like bite mark on buttocks . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like fungal infection , herpes , allergic reaction or insect bite . I would suggest you to keep this area clean and dry , clean it with betadine , wear loose cloths and take anti histamine twice a day like benadryl . If condition doesn't get well then consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may order skin patch test , allergy test and do physical examination . Doctor may prescribe anti allergic , anti inflammatory , anti viral or anti fungal like fluconazole depending upon the diagnosis .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
