What Causes Cluster Of Red Bumps On Behind?

I recently noticed a cluster of red bumps on one specific spot on my behind. They look like mosquito bites, but they are not. We tried washing my sheets and nothing changed. We thought it was a bug- but they are all in one spot and no where else on my body- so we eliminated allergic reactions/bed bugs. They are extremely annoying and I don t know how to clear them up. Any suggestions?

Dermatologist, Dr. Hardik Pitroda's Response

Hello
Thank you for posting on HCM
From your description, it seems you have got Tinea corporis, a sort of fungal skin infection.
I would recommend you consult a dermatologist for proper management.
I generally recommend proper course of oral antifungal drug like fluconazole / itraconazole along with local application of sertaconazole or luliconazole cream over affected areas.
Take oral antihistaminics for itching as required.
Hope this will take care of your problem
Thank you
Dr Hardik Pitroda
