Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of painful red bumps on buttocks which occurs when there is bacterial infection of hair follicles leading to folliculitis and when clogged pores of sebaceous gland filled with sebum, dead skin and bacteria get infected. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to maintain environment dry and clean. You should wear loose clothes. Till now you should apply aloe vera gel and apply betnovate cream twice a day. You should consult dermatologist once and get it examined. You can go for antibiotics such as clindamycin, corticosteroid ointment, hydroquinone, laser therapy for bump on buttock only after doctors prescription. Do not scratch these bumps as they will get infected , leave acne marks.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
