Suggest Treatment For Itching In The Buttock Crack
Good afternoon - I have red itching that has just started occurring along the crack in my bottom - the top of the crack. It lays down and then out of the blue resurfaces. It s very odd. Itches like crazy! It has been happening for about a week now.

Hello. It seems like an fungal infection. I would suggest you following things
1. Wear cotton loose clean underwear. Avoid too tight or polyester innerwear
2. Keep your genitals and anal area dry. Everytime you use washroom.... Clean and dry it with tissue paper. Do not let the genitals be wet.
3. You can apply ketoconazole cream 2 % at the itchy area twice in the day.
4. Incase of no relief in a week; kindly see a dermatologist.
Hope this helps you. Any more questions ; you can ask. Regards.
