What Is The Cure For Itchy Butt For Months?
My daughter, age 48, has had an itchy butt for several months now. Her doctors can't solve it. It is so itchy, she is in agony! Now it has turned into a rash, and she has scratched it so hard, so long, it is bleeding. The medical community seems to be at a loss ...

Hi,
From history it seems that she might be having fungal infection over the part.
Apply anti-fungal cream locally.
Ask to take tablet Cetrizine or Benadryl for itching.
go for oral anti-fungal tablet like Flucanozole once in a week for 4 weeks.
Keep local part clean and dry.
If there is super added bacterial infection due to itching, ask her to go for one antibiotic medicine course.
Ok and take care.
