Blood Blisters On Inner Butt Cheek After Being Sick With Stomach Virus And Diarrhea. Suggest Home Remedies

I have what looks like a blood blister on my inner butt cheek close to my anal hole. I just discovered it today and I have been sick with a stomach virus with diarrea. How and what are ny options to treat this is? Any ideas on what to use for over the counter or home remedys? I definately do not want infections. It does cause some discomfort when I walk.

Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this blister around your anus. The truth is that diarrhea produces acids that can cause such findings especially in sever and frequent episodes. The best course of treatment is to practice sitz baths which consist in adding and antiseptic like iodine to 100cc of lukewarm water. Pour the water into a bowl and sit in it for 15mins at least 3times/day and after each stool. This will help keep the area sterile and prevent infections thus assuring its rapid healing.

If it should not get better, then please consult the doctors to evaluate and prescribe antibiotics if need be.


I hope you find this helpful. Thank you so much for using our services and please do feel free to ask for clarifications if need be. I wish you the best of health.
