I was diagnosed with severe dermatitis about 5 years ago in between butt cheeks. I have moved and no longer live near the same dr. that prescribed an ointment for me and told me to buy a 1% over the counter anti-fungl cream to go with it. It went away and I could finally sit without pain. 5 years later its back. Is there anything for the pain until I can get back to a doctor as my job keeps me sitting all day in front of a computer?
Hi. As per your case history you are having perianal dermatitis. My treatment advice is - 1. Maintain good hygiene and bath twice daily. 2. Use potassium permanganate in water in dilution of 1 :10000 for bathing. 3. Apply an antifungal plus steroid cream like candid-b cream twice daily on it. 4. Take a NSAID like ibuprofen for pain and levocetrizine for itching.
