Penny size red painless patch on butt ? could it be folliculitis ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It could be. If it is, applying warm compresses for 10 minutes,pat dry,apply antibacterial ointment a few times a day. Observe for pain,tenderness, swelling or increasing redness which would be seen in spreading infection and warrants a trip to your MD or a clinic.
