Hi.
As per your case history of scratch on butt skin, my treatment advice is -
1. Apply ice on the affected part twice daily.
2. Apply a mild antibiotic cream like fusiderm cream twice daily on it.
3. Take a NSAID like ibuprofen for pain.
4. Other treatment options are oral antibiotics like levofloxacin, cefadroxil and azithromycin taken only after consulting a dermatologist.
Thanks.
