Experiencing Itchiness & Bleeding On The Buttocks
This is weird, but My butt will get really itchy but there s no bumps and it s not hard. Just a regular butt. But the itchiness will get so bad and it s felt so good to scratch that by accident (being only half awake) I have scratched so much it has bled a little. It has been like this for a while now. Some days are fine but most days I will have an itch. With no bumps or anything it doesn t sound like Hemorrhoids...can you help me with this? Oh yes, putting Carmex on it (I know that sounds weird) actually makes the itching stop and feels really good...

Hi Dear,
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of itchiness and bleeding on buttocks which can occur due to many reasons like fungal infection, contact dermatitis, bacterial infection of hair follicles and lyme disease.
Need not to worry. For now take benadryl twice a day , apply cold compresses and avoid any cosmetic product. Wear loose clothes. I would suggest you to avoid touching or picking rash. Maintain complete hygiene. You should consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor may prescribe antihistamine , corticosteroid ointment and may give adrenaline short.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
