Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of pus filled bumps on buttocks which is because of folliculitis that is infection of hair follicles. It could be erythematous lesions with pus in center of the lesions and bacterial infection of hair follicle. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult dermatologist once and get it examined. Start treatment after proper prescription. You should take Amoxycillin in combination with clavulanic acid thrice daily. Avoid touching or pricking bumps with hand or any sharp object. You should take anti inflammatory drugs like nimesulide daily till you get good result. You should take antibacterial cream/ointment 2% mupirocin can be applied twice daily.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
