Suggest Remedy For Rash On The Buttocks

I noticed a rash on my buttocks near the top area; not very large; maybe a little less than a dime in size. Now I noticed the crack area up top is split. Could this be due to dry skin, laundry detergent? I have been using cortisone to treat it. In addition, it was raised and in heat.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I read history and I feel that most probably you may be having tinea Corporis. It is a fungal infection caused by dermatophytes. You may consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. You may take antihistaminics and antifungal tablets for about two weeks. Apply antifungal cream like Clotrimazole cream. Avoid soap bath. Use Dettol liquid for bath. Improve immunity and hygiene.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
