Mixed infection

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query.
Sore in butt Crack is a mainly due to mixed bacterial and fungal infection.
I treat such cases with topical antifungals cream like clotrimazole to be applied twice daily for 15 days and oral antibiotic for a week.
This combination gives excellent response within a week.
You can try this in consultation with your doctor.
