What Causes Dry Flaky Skin And Itching Sensation Between Buttocks?

Hi, I have the skin between my bum cheeks peeling off. I does not hurt but it itches so badly and as a result of scratching it sometimes I gets sore. I don t know if there is any connection with a colorectal operation I had to remove a wart about 2months ago. Your Richard.

It can be due to some fungal infection for which you can take antibiotics like cefadroxyl or zifi-cv after an expert opinion along with cetrizine or Avil itching or rashes. Apply clonet lotion or clo-trimazole cream locally over the affected area. You can take steroids if not improved with above treatment.
