Suggest Treatment For Tenderness In Buttocks After Diarrhea
i recently had diarrhea and sickness although the sickness has stopped now and the diarrhea is much better (it lasted for 2 days). My problem is i seem to have a really tender anus or a spot down there that hurts when i do anything. Should i worry, how can i stop it hurting, it hurts when i walk, lie down, wipe my ass and excrete.
Some advices that I can give to you are : -Use unscented baby wipes instead of toilet paper to wipe yourself after you’ve been to the toilet -Have a warm bath to help soothe pain and help with healing. -Pat the area dry with a soft towel after a shower or bath -Take soothing creams such as E45, vaseline or zinc cream to apply around your anus -Avoid wearing tight trousers or cotton underwear will help to keep the area ventilated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi
