Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have red welt like areas that appear on my buttocks. They feel like bug bites last a few days and reappear elsewhere only on the buttocks. They itch and are tender upon touch but don t fit the clinical signs and symptoms of herpes. I do feel they are worse at times of stress, heat and when I am menstruating or pregnant. Any ideas?
Is it present on both buttocks? What is the approximate size and shape? Any oozing or peeling of overlying skin? Can you share a picture? This may be an urticaria or contact dermatitis (as in toilet seat dermatitis). If confirmed, urticaria will respond to a short course of antihistamine, while contact dermatitis will respond to topical steroids. Kindly consult a dermatologist.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
