Hello Dr XXXXXXX

No I have none of the above. So I have no idea what is causing the problem.

There is a history of bowel cancer in the family.

Brief Answer:
most probably superficial erosion of skin

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Your symptoms are suggesting superficial erosion of the skin which could be from any cause. I would suggest you following things:

- apply lignocane gel thrice a day on that area
- alternate it(lignocane gel) within fusidic acid ointment.
- Keep very good care of personal hygiene
- try that your bowel remains soft. Avoid constipation.
- Take high fiber diet.
- Wear soft cotton loose undergarments

Hopefully you will see improvement in 2-3 days. If condition remains same or aggravates then you need to visit hospital and get an appointment for a general surgeon.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help if not then don't forget to close the discussion and rate it.
Wishing you good health !!
