What Causes Red Bumps With White Dot On Hips, Buttocks, Upper Thighs?
I have bumps mostly on my hips and buttocks and upper thighs that are red with a white dot in the centre. once I scratch the white dot off - like a pimple, they stop itching and go away. I cannot find any bed bugs. My flatmates do not have any bites. What is this?
I can understand your concern for red bumps with white dot on hips, buttocks, upper thighs. There can be multiple possibilities of the red rashes and it requires a close physical examination to diagnose the exact entity of the problem.
In my view correlating with the facts you have provided it appears to be allergic dermatitis of the area due to multiple causes including tight fitting and synthetic clothes.
I suggest you to meet a dermatologist to for proper therapy. In between you should avoid contact of dust to the area properly. If I were your dermatologist then presumptively would have preferred to apply fluticasone cream. You can take an antihistamine such as loratadine for twice a day if itching is present.
Do not try to pinch, pop or squeeze the area as it may cause secondary infection of the area.
All the best
