How Can Itchiness Along Butt Line Be Treated?

Hi, Im lexie and I'm 13 years old.
Last night right before I went to bed my upper butt crack
Itched like CRAZY! It just was a itch that wouldn't go away.
I thought puttin a little warm water on it might take the itching away.
But instead It burned like crazy almost in tears. Since my parents were
In bed I just let it be till this morning. I woke up and got in the shower
Forgetting I had that itch. Ofcouse after a couple second of water running in it
I screamed. My mom looked at it and she said it was a red line on my upper crack. She gave me a antibiotic ointment on it. It didn't help at all. What do I do???

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

The history and the symptoms suggest me that you are having some fungal infection, because of which you are getting all these symptoms.

The fungal infections are common in areas were there is moist and wet which will favors the condition for the growth and development of the fungus.

I would suggest you to follow
1.Ice packs on the itchy area
2.Topical antifungal cream
3.Keep the area dry and clean.
4.Oral antihistamines.

These aforementioned treatment will help you to control the symptoms and improve the condition.
Thank you.
