Rashes On Butt, Constant Sweating Due To Work Out. Are Rashes Due To Excessive Sweating?
I seem to be dealing with an almost rash or something like it on my butt. Not in the hold but on the cheeks rather. I work out a lot and work outside at a pool and beach so I am constantly sweating which seems to affect it more. I don't know if it's some sort of irritation from all of the sweat or what. Any answers? Thanks!

Hello dear,
The case history as mentioned in your post suggests that it might be due to fungal infection.
Management includes:
1. Keeping the area dry & avoid too much exposure to water or sweat formation.
2. Antihistamine preparations like cetirizine to provide symptomatic relief.
3. Application of topical antifungal cream to tackle the causative organism.
4. Topical antibiotics can also be applied to prevent secondary bacterial infections.
If symptoms still persist or aggravate further, then it will be better to consult a Dermatologist & get a proper examination done to find out the actual cause.
So that appropriate management steps could be taken.
Also avoid wearing tight clothes...as it will cause sweating & aggravate the infections.
Wishing a good health.
Take care
