What Causes A Boil With Red Spots Around The Buttocks?
I had and have a large what i thought was a boil or pimple on my buttox- it popped and now I have little red pimple like marks all around the area but they are not raised and not popable.. they do not hurt either. I have this on both but cheeks.. what is it possibly? mRSA? I work in a jail and use public restrooms here so i am worried... How would i know if i contracted MRSA?

Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having ingrown hair follicle infection most likely due to friction and perspiration.
Clean the part properly and apply antibiotic cream.
If pain, selling and induration is there, go for one antibiotic medicine course for 3 days.
Avoid wearing synthetic inner wears, wear cotton inner wears.
Ok and take care.
