How To Treat Rash In My Taint And Anal Area?
Hello,
I seem to have a rash in my taint and anal area. The skin is red, hasn't cracked yet, and itches. There are also very few red bumps around the outside of the rash that do not itch. I bought a jock itch spray, but it burns very painfully when applied, and thought about using balmex, but not sure.

Hi,
It seems that probably you may be having anal and perianal dermatitis. There may be some cause. It may be irritant,allergen,soap,clothe, perspiration, paradite,fungus or bacterial infection. Poor hygiene and poor immunity might exacerbate the lesions. You consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis.
You may take antihistaminics,antibiotics and antifungal tab as needed. Apply combined cream of steroid and antifungal. Sitz bath in dettol water is advised.
Have patience for the good result. I hope you got my answer.
