Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have had a fissurectomy and have been doing 3 sitz baths a day. I have developed a red itchy rash on the inner buttocks. If I sit in warm water it starts to itch. Cold water sooths it. What could cause this. Currently I am putting Calmoseptine on it.
Itchy rashes over buttocks could be due to eczema,allergic hives,atopic dermatitis, tinea corporis but it should be visually inspected by the doctor to have correct cause.
So,the important thing is to diagnose first rather than treatment.
You can go to skin specialist for detailed history and inspection of rashes to have a clear diagnosis.
You might require topical corticosteroid like beclomethasone, clobetasol or mometasome with antifungal cream like miconazole or itraconazole with antihistamines orally to reduce itching.
Some time oral antifungal once dosage with prednisolone are also effective.You can continue using calmoseptine cream or ointment.
So,you must consult to the doctor.
Regards,
