Suggest Treatment For Dark Red Bumps On Butt Cheek

I had a group of small red bumps on my left butt cheek about an inch or two to the left of the rectal are and I had a small patch in between my left thumb and finger. They did not itch and did not hurt except after a few days rubbing on my jeans. I noticed the one on my thumb area had a few little spots that looked like some fluid might be in it but it did not drain or anything. I did not feel drainage on the butt area. I put antibiotic ointment on them and the one on my hand is almost gone and the one on the butt cheek is almost gone but I was worried because it looks dark red, almost purple. What could it be?tay

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi.
As per your case history you are having furuncles.
My treatment advice is –

1. Don’t squeeze the lesions as it may worsen the condition.
2. Apply a mild antibiotic cream like fusiderm cream twice daily on it.
3. Take a NSAID like ibuprofen for 5-7 days.
4. Other treatment options are oral levofloxacin, cefadroxil and azithromycin given only after consulting a dermatologist.

Thanks.
