What Causes Itchy Rashes Turned Into Rashes Around Tailbone?

I have a rash above my tailbone that started off as just a itchy area after shaving one day, Now it's become worst, it will scab up on certain areas of the rash but right in the middle (butt crack above anus below tailbone) it's very red and sometimes there's puss. I use Dove soap bar which is the only soap I can use, and I was using aquifer. That made it worst. So now I do not use any type of ointment but it has not healed and every time my husband checks the rash it just looks worst and worst. I'm at the point that it makes me sad not knowing what to do to feel better

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have itchy rashes turned into rashes around tailbone. Well either you have developed a fungal infection in the area or it is a chronic eczema . I would suggest you to apply cold compresses to area to reduce redness and inflammation , wear loose cloths and do not apply any cosmetic product . Fungal infection needs to be managed by regular application of topical antifungals along with oral antifungal agents like fluconazole .I would suggest you to consult dermatologist if condition doesn't get well . Doctor may prescribe immunosuppressants along with corticosteroid ointment .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
