View allI've been dealing with these itchy and painful bumps on my butt cheeks for over a decade now, and it's pretty frustrating. They come and go, but they're mostly always there. I used to be able to squeeze out the pus, and it would help, but recently, it's like everything's hardened and I can't get any pus out anymore. Sometimes I notice the bumps showing up on my inner thighs and the sides of my waist, too. Do you have any advice or insight on what's going on and how I might manage this?
Based on your description, it sounds like you may be experiencing recurrent episodes of boils or abscesses. These are usually caused by bacterial infections of the hair follicles. To help treat and prevent these bumps, I recommend practicing good hygiene by keeping the affected areas clean and dry. You can also apply warm compresses to the bumps to help them come to a head and drain. Additionally, you may benefit from using an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to help prevent infection.
