Hello,
* After further clarification, I can suggest being suspicious for possible dermatitis or parasite infection.
* Guidelines at present
- Regular sitz bath (sitting in a tub filled with lukewarm water added Epsom salt and lavender oil) 2 times a day.
- Try to manage regular, firm bowel movements.
- Wear loose, clean, cotton inner wears.
- Avoid irritants like soap, deodorant.
- Get prescription of antihistamine, necessary anti worms medications for
prophylaxis and antibiotic as per the clinical evaluation from your doctor.
- Continue coconut oil application 2 times a day.
- The addition of aloe vera gel application will also recover faster.
