Burning In Buttocks, Washing Makes It Worse. No Open Sores, Rashes. What Can It Be?
Question: I have burning around my butt and it seems washing makes it worst it is not have any open sores on it or rash do you have any idea what it could be and what to put on it?
Hi
Thanks for posting your query
Considering your age I feel you would be constipated
Though there are no open sores or rashes, there are chances there is a small fissure that gives you the burning sensation and makes washing painful
I would recommend you take lot of fiber in diet, drink plenty of fluids and if need be add a fiber supplement
For a local application use a lignocaine 2% jelly after passing stool and before going to bed
Take sitz bath twice a day for 15 minutes each
Hope this helps

If you are not constipated and there is no fissure on examination, we need to rule out any fungal infection of the skin surrounding the butt
In some cases collitis also causes burning around the anal region because of mucus seepage
If you have neither of the above two, we clinically would prefer treating you as a patient with anal fissure unless ruled otherwise

Can i get medicine over the counter.I do have irritable bowel and chronic gastritis can that cause any of the problem
Hi
Irritable bowel syndrome[Constipation prone] can lead to fissures but as you said you have no constipation so it won't add to your agony
Chronic gastritis - No
I think you would be able to get OTC medicines
We treat our patients with Lignocaine jelly 2% for local application, Seven day treatment with a Probiotic and Ofloxacillin and Ornidazole
This will cover fissure and collitis both
In case you have fungal infection of the surrounding skin, a good antifungal ointment and a Tablet of Cetrizine foe 5-7 days will be good enough
Hope this helps
