Which doctor is responsible for eczema of the buttocks?

If one discovers eczema on the buttocks, the question arises as to which doctor one should now consult. It is advisable to introduce yourself to your family doctor first. As a rule, the doctor not only has a lot of experience, but also knows your medical history and current medication.

Together you can then decide whether a referral is necessary. Often, a visit to the dermatologist is necessary, since eczema is usually caused by dry skin or chronic skin diseases. Dermatologists can also perform an allergy test if there is a suspicion of contact allergy.

However, if an abscess has formed on the bottom of an eczema or if there are other complications, a referral to a surgeon or other specialist can also be made, but this is usually not the case. In most cases, a visit to the family doctor will be sufficient.
