Frequently Butt Crack Itches, Is Red, Wet. Any Cream? Need To Clean Area More?

My 10 year old son keeps complaining that his butt crack itches and is red and liquidy but that its not sweat and that it also itches. Goes away and comes back. Started during his football season. Is he not cleaning area enough? Is there a cream he can try. He would really prefer not going to dr for a buttcrack checkup if something else Could work to try first.

Hello dear,

The symptoms in your child can be attributed to Pin worm infection.
Investigations like stool examination & tape test will be helpful in clinching the diagnosis.
Management involves:
1. Antihelminthic preparation like Albendazole/ Mebendazole.
2. Application of calamine lotion.
3. Antihistamine like Levocetrizine for symptomatic relief from itching & redness.
4. Maintenance of adequate hygiene.

There is no need to worry, your son will be fine.
Wishing him a good health.
Take care.
