What Are The Treatments For Itching In Anal Area And Pimples On Bum Cheeks?
Hi, I get itchy around anal area, feels like something crawling. at first thought it was thrush but thrush cream made it burn and did not clear it up at all. Also get little pimples on bum cheeks. I now shower twice a day cos it makes me feel yuk but this hasnt helped the problem.
hi Welcome to Healthcare Magic Forum You seem to have developed a fungal infection of the groin region, which can be either tinea infection or candidiasis. You should try to keep the groin region clean and dry . Do not apply any kind of oils or moisturizing creams over the groin region . Wear cotton undergarments inorder to reduce sweating. You need to use an antifungal agent like Clotrimazole gel over the affected area twice a day. Also you might need to take oral antifungals like fluconazole for upto 6 weeks. And to relieve the itching, take oral antihistamines .
Hope it helps,
