Suffering From Pimples, Boils On Buttocks, Discomfort On Sitting. Treatment For Symptoms?
Hello, I get big pimples/boils on my buttocks and sometimes on my upper thighs. They are often ileed with fluid and make me extremely uncomfortable to sit on. I get these so frequent that before the first few really dry up, I start getting new ones. I follow a good hygiene but it is still there. I am 33 now and I remember having these ever since i was 12. My buttock is very very dark and I am ashamed to go and see a doctor. Could you please help?

Hi, it may be folliculitis. You should be investigated to rule out D M , anaemia, or any other systemic disease. It may be due to deprived immunity. Take antibiotics with anti inflammatory drugs. Take dettol bath and sitz bath. To prevent relapse precipitating disease should be treated. Try to improve immunity with levamisole or vitamins..or other immunobuster ... Ok.
