Hello doctor,Buttocks are really itching. The skin over the buttocks has become black due to scratching. I suffer from hemorrhoids. Kindly suggest some quick and effective treatment for this condition or can I do a laser therapy? This has been in the same condition for more than four to five months. I am applying Lactocalamine and Vaseline.
Hello. This is not due to hemorrhoids. You may have laser treatment and other, but before that, you first need to get yourself examined and suitability for surgery. So visit a nearby surgeon for an examination. Do you frequently get bleeding? If yes then you need surgery for it. The most important thing to prevent bleeding is, you should avoid straining while passing stools. For that, you should eat high fiber diet like fruits apple, banana, oranges, green leafy vegetables like spinach, raw cucumber. Avoid smoking, refined food, fatty and oily food. You should have plenty of fluids and regular exercises. Also, syrup like Lactulose 15 to 30 ml bedtime to maintain your stool soft. For your buttocks, it is a fungal infection. Good hygiene and avoidance of moisture are key for prevention. You should apply Terbinafine ointment two times a day for two weeks. You should get prescribed oral medicine tablet Fluconazole 150 mg once a week and if needed it should be repeated. For more information consult an internal medicine physician online -->
