PLEASE HELP!!!! itchy, cracked skin in butt crack

[Clovis27]

hello all. i'm in need of some help and i'm a bit worried about this. ok, i've been suffering from an itchy butt crack/anus area for some time now. usually if i put something down there, like lanacaine or gold bond anti itch, it will usually calm down. so i got the urge to itch last night and i was able to get in front of a mirror and look at my butt crack. what i saw stunned me!! my anus looks normal but the skin above my anus and below the top of my butt crack is cracked and a white color!! what can i do? i don't think its an STD(i've get checked once a year, regardless). i've been reading some stuff about yeast infection of the butt crack for men. if so, what does that look like? can can i try to get rid of it? can you use like an anti fungal cream on it, like the stuff for atheletes foot? thanks for helping me out. i appreciate it!!

could it possibly be eczema or psoriasis of the butt crack? i've been looking more into the causes. what can i use?

Most possible it could be dermatitis with yeast infection, which is quite common. Especially when you suffering any gastro-intestinal problems.

Treatment first would be taking anti-itching medications like Cetrizine HCL (CTZ) or Fexofenadine HCL( Allegra) so it won't itch thus preventing you further irritation by self scratching the areas. Just make sure to gently clean and dry the anus thoroughly. Topical treatment for symptomatic relief would be Local anesthetics like you are using (lanacaine) or use calamine lotion locally for soothing cool effect.

For treatment you can use ointments or shampoos containing selenium sulfide, ketoconazole, cotrimazole. See if it helps. If the itching still persist Doctor consultation is necessary to rule out if any underlying cause.

thaanks so much for writing back. i do have a question. i started to notice the itching problem when i lost my job last oct. could sitting down all day have something to do with it? also, i do drink a lot of soda, mostly diet. could that be a cause as well? what if i eliminate the soda? do you think that might help?also where do i find those ointments and shampoos OTC? or do those have to be a prescription? thanks agian

[Clovis27]

also, could an antifungal for atheletes foot work?

[sexydiva]

i think its due to more stress you might have gone through.

[Dr.Deepak]

you can use these shampoo, creams and gels without prescription..yea antifungal for atheletes foot would work just try it. if the condition doesn't improve consult your doc.

Prolonged sitting keeps the groin moist and may thus aggravate yeast infection. Wearing comfortable airy clothes and keeping an artea dry is a must when you want to get rid of groin yeast. It is called a jock itch - just to help in finding appropriate ointment.

I`m fully agree with him. About first treatment, it would be anti-itching medications. You should then be careful and watch difference.

There are various causes of cracked skin. This is in fact paramount if skin is dry, scaly or is fungal infected.

It is worthy of note that cracked skin can in turn lead to eczema and thus should be taken seriously. You can visit a skin dermatologist to get prescriptions.

Try my eczema cream, it works hard for conditions like these, $20.00, contact me at shebanaz1@aol.com, I only take paypal payments, thanks

You should look into trying Pranicure Ointment. I had a really itchy bum for a couple of years and there is no better treatment than using Pranicure. It heals the anal area and stops anal itching completely!

lotromin and monistat did nothing for my itchy butt. Worse at nite and i would scratch and have blood spots in my underware. I killed mine with cayenne pepper. this hurts like hades and hell put together for about 30 minutes. I did this 2x a day for 4 days and now the infection is a little itchy but when it was moist and itchy, is now dry and scabby. hopes this helps without using prescription any thing.
