Acne like bumps on hips and rear thighs
I have acne like bumps on my hips and back side of thighs. They pain and itch sometimes, rarely. I did a Google search and it seemed like folliculitis. What should I do? Can you please help me with an ointment or something? I am under prescription of Isotretinoin for acne of face. My lipids and liver function is normal.

You may be suffering from tinea cruris which is fungal infection of the inner thighs and genital area. It can be treated by taking four to six weeks of anti fungal treatment which includes tablets along with creams. Do not use soap over that area. Mistreatment with over the counter Steroid containing creams like panderm, quadriderm, dermi 5, candid b etc lead to repeated case of recurrence and also side effects due to application. Do not use steroid containing combination creams. Please contact me using online consult option with photos for detailed prescription. Do not delay treatment as it may spread further on your body and also to other people living in the household.
