Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern. According to your statement, you have been suffering from red-colored circular bumps on your left buttock which are very itchy and sore.

According to the pictures that are provided here (attachment removed to protect patient identity), I think you are suffering from folliculitis. They are developed when hair follicles become infected due to bacterial infections like staphylococcus aureus or friction or shaving. They may be caused by viral or yeast infections too. Initially, folliculitis may look like rashes, a patch of small red bumps that are very itchy with sore and form whiteheads. Overtime, they can spread and progress to crusty sores.

You can take Flucloxacillin 500 mg four times daily for 10 days by applying antibacterial cream on your affected area along with your current medications. You can apply topical steroid cream too. Wash your affected area daily with antibacterial soap and wear loose clothing along with maintaining personal hygiene.

Patient's Query

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Actually I have no idea about sending a prescription from here. Basically it is a chat room. If you need prescription, then you should come through consultancy method or contact with icliniq authorities, they may help you in this regards.

As you want, I try to give a prescription here as follows:-

  1. Capsule Stafloxin 500 mg 1+1+1+1 for 10 days.
  2. Tablet Allegra (Fexofenadine) 120 mg 0+0+1 for 10 days.
  3. Trimycin (Hydrocortisone + Bacitracin + Neomycin) ointment apply on the affected area 1-3 times daily.
  4. Hydrotopic (Hydrocortisone) 1% cream apply on affected area 3-4 times daily.
  5. Tablet Prevacid (Lansoprazole) 30 mg 1+0+0 (before meal) for 15 days.
