What Causes Fluid Filled Bump On The Top Of The Buttocks?
Hi I have a reaccuring spot/boil at the top of my bum crack. I can t sit for long periods of time. I had it about 7-8 months ago went to the GB and he had to pop it for me which was very uncomftable. Loads of smelly fluid came from it. What could it be? Thank you
Hi. As per your case history of recurrent boils my treatment advice is- 1. Don't squeeze the lesions it will worsen the condition. 2. Use a potassium permanganate powder in water in dilution of 1:10000 for bathing. 3. Apply a higher antibiotic cream like mupirocin twice daily. 4. For recurrent lesions oral antibiotics like levofloxacin, rifampicin, clindamycin can be taken only after consulting a dermatologist.
Thanks. Dr. Harshit bhachech. MBBS, DDVL.
