Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have anal itching and butt crack irritation & don t know the cause. I ve had loose fecal at times due to dairy intolerance. I ve firmed up my stool now. My anus has skin tags (a doctor s observance) and itches all the time including up the butt crack with a crack at the very top. I use a wet wipe after a bowel movement and do use a soap in the area when showing. To calm the itching and cool down the burning sensation I use Preparation H on the anus and Hydrocortisone 1%. Nothing really relieves it. It s also uncomfortable to sit at work. What should a do to make it better and back to normal?

Infectious Diseases Specialist, Dr. Arun's Response
Hello, Thank you for your contact to healthcare magic. I understand your health concern, if I am your doctor I suggest you that avoid using steroid cream. Use diluted savlon solirion instead to mop up after a bowel. Take good cleanliness locally. If infection is suspected use polysporin ointment at the wound area. Nothing much is required that that of.
I will be happy to answer all your future concern. Thank you, Dr Arun Tank Infectious disease specialist. Wish you a best health at health care magic.
