How Can Itching Between The Buttocks Be Treated?

hello, I just had a baby 6 weeks early on July 22nd. He was a very quick delivery, and weighed only 3lbs 8oz, 18 inches long. I did not tear or need to get cut. However a few days after giving birth to him, I noticed that he skin own the center of my butt crack was itchy an getting sore from the top of my to just before my anus. now for the past few weeks I have noticed splits down the center on my behind. I have tried putting Neosporin and a triple anti-biotic on it, but it just makes it itch. I can t seem to get the split to heal. It does not get bigger, but it won t heal. I am a 38 yrs old pretty healthy woman.

Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of itching between the buttocks which seems to be due to heat rash, allergic reaction and contact dermatitis. Need not to worry. You should consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor may prescribe antihistamine, corticosteroid ointment and immunosuppressants. Apply cold compresses. Wear cotton clothes and wear loose trousers. Avoid touching or pricking these red rashes. Avoid direct sun exposure and avoid any cosmetic product. Apply calamine lotion.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
