Pregnant, Skin Peeling From Anal Towards Back, In Butt Crack, Constant Itching, White Stuff On Scratching, Extreme Irritation. Remedy?
I m 3 weeks away from my due date and I have realized that my butt crack, from anal towards my back is peeling? It itches constantly and when I scratch it in either coming up with a nail full of skin, or some white stuff, and after I scratch it off it somewhat burns. I keep it as cleanse possible and scrub it well when I take a shower. Its looks red and raw deeper in the crack but outlined in what looks to be dead skin. This only started when I got pregnant. Now it seems to be getting worse as the months pass. Please help. Not only is it extremely irritating, but it s very embarrassing.

Hello
Get your blood sugar levels done
It can be a fungal infection
Apply antibiotic and antifungal cream locally
Keep the area dry
Antifungal powder also helps a lot
It is better to consult a dermatologist
Best wishes
