How To Heal Infected Butt Crack?
I went to the bathrom at work. I noticed that my boxer underpants were saturated with a clear watery fluid, not slimy, nor much of an odor. I now have a i cm tear of my skin in my butt crack posterior and superior of my anus that I had to take an antibiotic for becuase the tear had become infected and begun leaking puss. Now, I am left with the tear and small amounts of blood when I wipe no matter how clean or bandaged I keep the tear it will not heal.

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
The history and symptoms suggest me that you may be having infection. You requires physical examination to know the type infection.
This area is known for infection because of hairy area and stasis of sweat which may hinder the wound infection.
I would suggest you to follow
1. Keep the area clean and dry.
2. Topical application of T Bact oint.
3. Oral Tab Augmentin, twice daily for 5 days.
Thank you.
