Excess Moisture In Tailbone, Soreness, Redness. Taken Antibiotics. No Relief

Hello, about 6 weeks ago, I noticed excess mositure in the tailbone ( butt crack) after I was on antibiotics, and used flushable wipes...it is sore, red, felt like a paper cut, it seems to go away with treatments used , then gets to dry feeling, splits again, itches, burns, and resplits... I have tried vasoline, witch hazel, perioxide, monitstat, triple anitbiotic cream, talc powder etc.. like i said it gets better but comes back in no time. everything I have used has been one thing after another...If I dont feel relief I go onto try another item.

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
Excess moisture on tail bone is a non specific condition.
moisturizers wont help you.
Probably you can apply some talc powder.
This will keep it dry.
Dryness in this area is necessary as excess moisture can cause fungal infections.
powder may provide you some relief.

Let me know if you have any other doubt.
you can ask a direct question to me on this forum, following the below link.
