Suggest Treatment For Small Itchy Bumps On The Buttocks

This is a dermatology question - I have 6 - 8 small itchy bumps on my inner buttox that I have been treating with Tea Tree oil. They go away for several weeks only to reappear. They usually never get larger than a centimeter or two, but while I was deployed to Afghanistan one turned into a cyst, was lanced and treated with antibiotics, and again several weeks later after the wrong antibiotic was prescribed. However, since then, and with the tea tree oil treatments they have stayed a fairly small size. How do I get rid of them for good?

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello
Thanks for the query .
Probably you have developed sebaceous cysts.
These are formed due to collection of epidermal material under skin.
These need to be removed surgically.
It's a minor procedure and will take hardly half an hour.
Meet a dermatologist and get it done.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you
I find this answer helpful
