Constant infection on buttocks

2017-12-18 19:25:40
I have infection on buttocks, and I once consulted a doctor and he said that it's due to vitamin D deficiency ( I don't eat much vegetables). He prescribed me vitamin medicine. But then it's still happening. It's itching and it found to forms a permanent scar look. I use ointment for infection, then itching stops but later it comes again. What should I do?
