Suggest Remedy For Itchy Inflammation On Butt Region

I have tears in my butt crack that are very painful and taking a long time to heal. I think that I had yeast in the area because it was red, inflamed, and itching and burning really bad. The redness and inflammation above the tear is better, but the tear is still there. Do I need to be seen by a doctor or can I treat it at home.

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

Your history and symptoms are suggestive of fungal infection and it is more common in this area, as these are the normal comensals of this area which will be kept under control by helpful organisms.

Whenever there is a imbalance in the environment it will multiply and produces its symptoms.

I would suggest you to follow
1.Keep the are clean and dry
2.Topical application of anti fungal cream like Ketcanozole cream
3.Oral single dose of Tab Diflucan, 150 mg.
4.Oral anti histamines.
Thank you.
