Raw Butt Crack?!
Question:
Raw Butt Crack?
I'm sorry to be so blunt about this but my butt crack is red, raw, and scabby. I had diahhrea for about 2 weeks and all the wiping has left it like this. I have tried neosporin and destin (for diaper rash). It hurts so bad and is bloody when I wipe. What can I do????
Answers:
It's past desitin or any kind of diaper ointment. You don't have to see a doctor. Keep it clean and over the next week possibly 2 (should feel better in a few days) use CLOTRIMAZOLE on it. You have developed a yeast or fungal infection which is REALLY common almost like jock itch. That area doesn't breath well, so with all the wiping and bacteria it was bound to happen! Apply it after you clean with soap and water at least in the morning and at night. You CAN put some desitin over it if it makes you more comfortable. It may sting a little at first, but I promise it will work. You can buy it at any pharmacy and there are always generic brands. I believe the name brand is LOTRIMIN AF.
Good luck and don't fret. It will feel better soon and it happens to the best!!!
