On and off the is some bleeding while passing stools..especially if I have had wheat based products the previous day.. I have applied cortisone right now.. And the itching / burning has subsided.. Should I keep the place dry or apply ointment..
Hello, Thanks for the query, You might have developed fungal infection. Your description matches with that. Usually fungal infections are itchy and recurrent. Please get a KOH mount done, This can confirm the fungal etiology. Treatment can be with oral antifungals as well as with topical antifungals. Treatment must be continued for at least a month to prevent recurrance. Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis. Let me know if you have any other doubt. you can ask a direct question to me on this forum, following the below link. http://www.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-rahul-kumar/64818 Wishing you a good health.
