embarrassing question but I noticed I develop a rash between my buttox when working on my feet for long periods of time. is this something to be concerned about? It goes away usually after a nights sleep, but I work on a kitchen line and I got to move fast and I sweat a lot, so could this be a sweat rash? what causes this and how can I avoid it?
Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at ChatDoctorI would keep a possibility of a Fungal Infection. Sweat trapped in between the body folds like buttocks, groins, maxilla provides an ideal atmosphere for the fungus to proliferate. As a treating doctor I would have asked you to use a topical antifungal cream e.g. clotrimazole twice daily in between the body folds. An OTC antihistamine once daily would provide you relief from itching associated with fungal infection. An antifungal dusting powder regularly after the infection resolves would keep the folds Chat Doctor. Take care regards
