What Is The Treatment For Itchy Bumps In The Buttock?
My boyfriend has gotten little bumps under his left buttcheek/thigh that itch and won t go away. He s put gold bond ointment on it and other ointments and taken bleach baths and it still won t go away. We went on vacation and it cleared up but as soon as we got back they came back too. It looks like hives

Thank you for your question!
This is a very common condition among people who do exercise or sweat a lot. It is very important to take a shower after you do exercise. I would advice to have a Benzoyl Peroxide wash twice a day, and get a prescribtion for clindamycin lotion twice a day for 2 weeks. If the situation won`t be controlled I would suggest going on oral antibiotics.
I hope this helps!
Feel free to ask again.
