Could Small Bumps On The Intergluteal Cleft Be Due To Bed Bugs?
Hello, my children have a few tiny bumps around their bums-- 1 or 2 in the crack. There are no other bumps anywhere else on their bodies. We have been battling a bed bug situation at home when my son was bit on his chest, stomach, side, and other exposed areas around his ear. Would he be getting bit in his buttocks near the crack solely now. My husband thinks it s just a rash my boys have from not wiping themselves good. What do you think?

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Usually the rush in the intragluteal cleft is due to the accumulation of sweat.
So I suggest to have a proper hygiene.
I also suggest using an antibacterial soap for local cleaning.
I recommend using temporally an antibiotic cream such as Neosporin cream for local application.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
