What Are the Small Red Rashes Around the Anterior Superior Iliac Spine?

Small red rashes around the anterior superior iliac spine may be caused by skin rashes, folliculitis, eczema, and other reasons, and the cause needs to be identified before treatment.

1. Miliaria:

Miliaria mainly occurs in hot environments and is mainly caused by the blockage of small sweat ducts and pores. There may be small papules locally, accompanied by varying degrees of itchiness. Cold compresses can be used for improvement, with ice wrapped in a towel and applied to the affected area, which can help with recovery.

2. Folliculitis:

Folliculitis is a common skin disease that may be caused by bacterial infection. Red papules centered on hair follicles will appear on the skin surface. Medications such as erythromycin ointment, mupirocin ointment, and fusidic acid cream can be applied under the guidance of a doctor.

3. Eczema:

The causes of eczema are relatively complex and are generally related to poor skin barrier function, environmental changes, and other reasons. Papules will also appear on the skin surface, and medications such as calamine lotion, hydrocortisone butyrate cream, and triamcinolone acetonide cream can be applied under the guidance of a doctor.

Apart from the above reasons, allergic purpura can also be considered, and can be treated with oral medications. If the patient also has other illnesses, a comprehensive examination should be conducted at a formal hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Avoid scratching the affected area with hands during treatment.
