What Could Itchy Bumps On Buttocks Leaving Bruising Marks Indicate?
Every so many months I start to have this itch on my right butt cheek. Soon one bump will appear that constantly itch then about two days later there will be another bump that also itch. In the end there will be three little white head bumps itching. Hot baths become my best friend to help relief the itch. Within a weeks time there start to go away and no longer itch. But leave me bruised from where the bumps were. I will see them again about four to six months later if not in the same spot very close to it. Can you help explain what s going on on my butt?

Hi
You seem to be developing recurrent lesions of folliculitis over your gluteal region
Any kind of skin infection tends to heal with scarring and this is what is happening in your case as well.
Apply a lightening agent like kojic acid cream over the pigmented areas twice daily.
