Suggest Treatment For Raised Red Rash On Buttocks And Vertigo
Hello, My father has a raised red rash across his buttocks. He has been having some vertigo for the past few weeks. His doctor says he is low in Vitamin B s, so put him on tablets for the deficiency.Dad has been very tired, irritable, anxious, depressed, swollen ankles, tingles in the feet. He has a pace maker. Do you think my father needs injections for his deficiency or just take the tablets for two months like his doctor prescribed? My Dad had a major gut surgery after a colonoscopy went wrong a few years ago, his stomach has been diverted. Tania

Hello,
The rash in the buttocks can be related to many medical conditions. One of the common conditions is an allergic reaction. I suggest using a mild steroid cream for local application such as Calamine lotion. I also suggest to continue the vitamin B supplements as to treat the vitamin deficiency.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
