I have anal itching and butt crack irritation & don t know the cause. I ve had loose fecal at times due to dairy intolerance. I ve firmed up my stool now. My anus has skin tags (a doctor s observance) and itches all the time including up the butt crack with a crack at the very top. I use a wet wipe after a bowel movement and do use a soap in the area when showing. To calm the itching and cool down the burning sensation I use Preparation H on the anus and Hydrocortisone 1%. Nothing really relieves it. It s also uncomfortable to sit at work. What should a do to make it better and back to normal?
Hello, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I understand your health concern, if I am your doctor I suggest you that avoid using steroid cream. Use diluted salon solution instead to mop up after a bowel. Take good cleanliness locally. If infection is suspected use polypoid ointment at the wound area. Nothing much is required that of. I will be happy to answer all your future concern. Thank you, ChatDoctorInfectious disease specialist. Wish you the best health at Chat Doctor.
