What Causes Moisture In The Crack Between Butt Cheeks?

I have had this problem before... I am 63 yrs. old. I have moisture in the crack between butt cheeks. Many years ago I had a bacterial infection in this area. I want to prevent an infected, uncomfortable lump from occurring. As a child, I developed a rash from penicillan. I'm sure my dr. will advise me to take it. Suggestions?

Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

It is likely to be bacterial infections.

I advice you should apply clobetasol, neomycin and clotrimazole combination cream. This will help cure all the infections.

This cream is devoid of penicillin's and won't give you rash.

Please maintian good local hygiene by frequent cleaning and mopping. Avoid extra sweating in this area.

You can wear cotton undergarments. This will absorb the extra sweat and help cure the problem.

Loose fitting garments can help give good ventilation and prevent sweating.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
