What Causes Dry And Painful Spot On The Buttocks?
My husband does a lot of sitting. He has developed a place on the inside edge of his butt crack that is very painful and makes it very difficult to sit. It is dry and almost looks like a callous but has a small open place on top, like he has scratched it

Hello dear,
Understand your concern.
Callus is a tough area of skin due to repeated friction and pressor
It causes infection, blister and pain if not treated.
Take following advice:
1. Minimize pressor in that area.
2. Do not seat for long time.
3. Wear loose cotton underwear.
4. Never pop up callus.
5. Apply 40% salicylic acid patch for better result
6. Apply Neosporine power
Hope this may help you.
Best regards
Dr. Saagar
