Suggest Treatment For Rash And Itching On The Buttocks

I have a rash at the top of my butt that itches and burns. A few days ago it. Was just an abraised area between the cheeks, like a very shallow tear, but since has progressed into very small bumps and redness and it itches all day long. I keep the area clean and dry, I tried neosporin, but it seemed to aggravate the symptoms.

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello,

Thank you for posting on HCM.

It seems you are suffering from Tinea cruris and corporis, a kind of fungal infection.

I would suggest you to consult your dermatologist for proper management of the condition.

I usually recommend proper course of oral anti-fungal drugs like Fluconazole or Itraconazole along with anti-fungal cream like luliconazole for local application at bedtime.

You can additionally use antifungal dusting powder containing sertaconazole during day time and a soap containing ketoconazole for rinsing of affected areas.

Take oral antihistaminics for itching as required.

Maintain hygiene over those areas and avoid wearing tight undergarments.

Hope your queries are resolved and wish you best of health.
