Suggest Remedies For A Small Itchy Red Mark On The Buttock

Thursday night a small red mark was noticed on my butt. Saturday it started itching throughout the day. Red mark about the size of a half dollar & a bit raised like a welt. Sunday still itching & possibly because of itching there was a small cluster of clear liquid filled blisters. Skin bright red still about a half dollar in size. Feels great to scratch then it hurts after doing so. Benadryl helps with the itching but makes me drowsy. Am thinking it s an allergic reaction to a mosquito bite but never had this occur before.

Hello,

* The itchy red mark on buttock can be a sequence of a mosquito bite, pimple or allergy to some bug bite.

Guidelines at present

- keep the area clean with antiseptic liquid

- local application of turmeric paste for faster soothing healing

- tablet cetirizine or montelukast for itching

* Discuss the need of medications as antifungal or antibacterial medications with your doc as per the need.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
