Sweating Problem In The Genital Areas And Painful Ring Around The Anus With Itching
HI, my butt/genital area sweats a lot and i have developed a what feels like a painful ring around my anus encompassing everything about an inch from the hole. it s itchy and it hurts. I ve never had this problem before and i have always sweated a lot, so i cannot be sure that is a cause of it. it s been there for a couple months now and won t go away. Any idea what it might be?

Hi i think u are suffering from tinea cruris which is a fungal infection caused by superficial dermatophyte species.it is due to excessive sweating or moisture content near the area.it presents as erythematous ring with central clearing.
It can be cured by atarax 25 mg at night.terbinafine 250 mg daily once and application of sebifin ointment twice daily can cure it
