Suggest Treatment For Puss Filled Bumps On Stomach And Buttocks
I get what looks to be blood/pus filled bumps on my stomach and on my butt. Sometimes they come to a head and pop and sometimes they just go down but they take a long time to go away and leave a dark purple scar that eventually fades with time. What are they and how can i prevent them from happening?

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of puss filled bumps on stomach and buttocks which is because of folliculitis and increased skin sensitivity of getting infected. It could be erythematous lesions with pus in center of the lesions and bacterial infection of hair follicle. Need not to worry. You should take antibacterial cream/ointment 2% mupirocin can be applied twice daily. I would suggest you to consult dermatologist once and get it examined. Start treatment after proper prescription. You should take Amoxycillin in combination with clavulanic acid thrice daily. You should take anti inflammatory drugs like numesulide daily till you get good result. Take diet rich in multivitamins and drink plenty of fluids.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
