What Is The Treatment For Chapped,irritated Skin Between My Buttocks?
I have been experiencing chapped, irritated skin between my buttocks. I did some online searching and thought it might be a yeast infection, so I tried using cream that I had for a vaginal yeast infection but I don t think the situation is much improved. I haven t experienced much itching - I would describe it more as irritation. It doesn t seem to extend all the way to my anus, but is more between the buttocks. I also tried using Gold Bond powder after applying the lotion because the area would be moist with the lotion on. me

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having fungal infection or dermatitis giving rise this problem.
Apply triple acting cream locally.
Go for one course of anti-fungal tablet like Flucanozole 150 mg once in a week for 4 weeks.
Keep local part clean, perspiration free and airy.
Ok and take care.
