I have 3 open sores in my buttcrack. I m not sexually active. No recent illness. But lately I ve been sweating alot in my sleep. They appeared about a week ago. And they are very painful and sometimes itchy. I rub witch hazel on them to stop the throbbing pain. Please help
Hi, Localized breakdown of skin usually occurs from the combination of wetness and rubbing. Working on either would generally fix the problem. Sores can be on top of very deep infections that are quite dangerous. I can provide general information but not specific to your condition without directly examining the area. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Matt Wachsman, Addiction Medicine Specialist
