I'm really worried because I have this red and painful lump between my buttock cheeks. I've been using Mupirocin and Azifast on it, but I'm not sure if that's enough or if I should be doing something else. Any idea what this could be or what steps I should take next?

I've been using Melamet cream for about a month, but when I stopped, I noticed I ended up with hyperpigmentation. I'm really concerned about this because I want to find a cream that'll help remove these pigmentation marks without any nasty side effects. Could you guide me on what I should use? I really need some advice.

Kozicure cream for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks , at bedtime ,if any side-effects dermat opinion is advised .
