Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have this dark color to my skin on my right buttocks, kind of a 6 - 7 inch in diameter. surrounding the dark the skin is raised and flakey. It iches and when i scratch it the raised peels and bleeds. so it might be scabbing, but it does itch. I also have scab like small patches for my scalp. they are very small. I pull them off and they keep coming back.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Based on your data I think that this could be tinea corporis (candida). So, I suggest to meet a dermatologist and make a culture of this part in your right buttocks. You should use local antifungal cream according your doctor advise.
I hope my answer helps you.
Regards.
