could be fungal infection
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
I understand from your query that you have a lesion on your buttock.
The possibilities I would consider from your description include a fungal infection called Tinea corporis and nummular eczema.
You have an option to upload a photograph of the lesion. Please use that option so that I can assess better and suggest appropriate treatment.
