Suggest Treatment For Abrasion On The Buttocks

Posted on Tue, 2 Aug 2016

Question: I was on my roof working and have a bad burn/abrasion on my buttock. The size of your hand. I have been putting triple antibiotics cream on it. It hurts and is really uncomfortable. I didn't think the roof being hot would burn thru my pants. It looks like an abrasion now. Please help.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
I am Dr Asmeet Kaur Sawhney, a dermatologist.
For burn I usually recommend my patients to apply cortisone cream on the affected areas twice daily for 7-10 days along with antihistaminic like tablet Chlorpheniramine 4 mg once or twice daily depending on the intensity of itching and irritation.
Also if possible I would recommend you to upload the photographs of the affected area so that I can have a clearer picture of the condition and can guide you accordingly.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
