What Causes An Itching Sensation On The Butt Cheek?`

This morning when I woke up I felt an itching sensation on my right butt cheek. It s close to my butt crack but not all the way inside. I sratched it and to my surprise felt a huge round bump/lump. It s at least an inch and is red and extremely painful. It is a constant throb and when I sit or move at all the pain is worse. It is warm to the touch. My husband has had large heat bumps before on his inner thighs from working in extreme heat but never described them as this painful. I am a stay at home mother with a fiesty 3 year old. I am always chasing him around but don t get over heated much. I also take showers every day with anti bacterial soap. I am a little overweight but not much. Can you please help me? I am so freaked out!! Thanks

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,

I feel that your rash could be a furuncle or carbuncle. Both the conditions are common in diabetics. I recommend you to consult your Dermatologist for confirming the diagnosis and for initiating the treatment.

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