Rashes On Buttocks, Looks Like Ringworm, Spreading, Itchy Anus. Using Lotrimin. Treatment?
I have a rash on my butt. It looks round like a ringworm . It is itchy. 45 year old woman. I ve had it for about a month. It started on one side and now it s on the other side. It s on the inside of my butt and my anus is itchy. I have used over the counter hydrocortisone as well as lotrimin . It dried it out a bit but it is still there and spreading in side my butt.

Dear Pilayne, Thanks for asking, As you told all about it looks like Ringworm (Tinea). Lotrimin is usually sufficient to treat but you can also take Tablet Fluconazole 150 mg single dose. Hydrocortisone is usually used to get relief from itching but actually should be avoided, If you severe itching take Tab. Cetrizine 10mg at bed time for few days. Keep affected area dry as possible. Hope this will help you.
