Why Am I Getting Bumps On My Buttocks?

Hi I am 19 year old female and in the past two days I ve had two bumps on my inner buttocks side by side which are very painful and it is painful to sit down, drive, and to walk. However there is no puss and they are not red like other bumps, these bumps are the same color as my skin.

Hi,

As per your query you have symptoms of bumps on buttocks which occurs when there is a bacterial infection of hair follicles and when clogged pores of sebaceous gland filled with sebum, dead skin and bacteria get infected.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to maintain environment dry and clean. Consult dermatologist once and get it examined. You can go for antibiotics (clindamycin), a corticosteroid ointment, and hydroquinone. Do not scratch bumps as they will get infected and leave acne marks. Till now apply aloe vera gel and apply Betnovate cream is safe.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
