Suggest Treatment For Skin Rash On The Lower Back And Buttocks
I have a skin rash on my lower back and upper buttocks area. Appeared in the last few weeks. After they heal over they leave a purplish scar looking dot. They are itchy but not uncomfortably itchy. Any suggestions for treatment or what could be causing it. I am on thyroid medication to control and under active thyroid could it be associated?
As first-line management, you can apply low potency steroid creams like betamethasone for symptomatic relief. If the lesion persists, it is better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
