What Causes Itchy And Painful Red Bumps On The Waist?
I have red bumps on my waistline that form and bleed,sometimes itch, and sometimes leaving pus on my waist band of my underwear. They are painful and when They heal they leave purple scars. I d really like to stop them because I don t want purple scars there and there are already quite a few. Please help.
As per your case history, you are having a fungal infection called as tinea corporis. My treatment advice is - 1. Maintain good hygiene and bath twice daily. 2. Apply an antifungal cream like clotrimazole cream twice daily on the affected skin. 3. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetrizine twice daily for 7-10 days. 4. Other treatment options are oral fluconazole, itraconazole, and terbinafine taken only after consulting a dermatologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
