What Causes Spreading Rash On Buttocks?
I am a 34 year old female. I have a rough red patch no more than an inch in diameter that appeared on my buttock. It s been there for over a week now . No itching or discomfort. Now it looks like it s spreading as I have two more which have appeared but are much smaller in size. I have keratosis Pilaris and I did scratch a bump at the site that this circular rash has formed. What could this be?

Hello Thanks for the query.
It might be a fungal infection.
Try an antifungal cream like clotrimazole.
