Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of red itchy bumps on the lower back and buttock which could be due to blockage of sebaceous glands as back has rich number of sebaceous glands. It could be due to contact dermatitis and hair follicle infection by bacteria leading to folliculitis. Need not to worry. You should rinse the area with mild antiseptic solution like Savlon twice a day. Take a course of Amoxicillin with Clavulanic acid twice a day for 5 days. Visit dermatologist once and get it examined and start treatment after proper prescription. If symptoms keep son persisting you should go for patch test as well. Apply topical antibiotic cream such as neosporin 2% on it. take a course of antibiotic Tablet.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
