Spot On Buttock. Prescribed Antibiotics, Sudocream Dint Work Much. Any Advise?
Hi i have a spot on my buttock thats been there for over a year, its red , sore and can bleed, then scab over . It now feels as if there could be core going inwards. i have been prescribed antibiotics for an unrelated chest infection before and possibly thought these might clear it up at the same time but this didnt happen . Have Also used sudocream regularly but this too hasnt had an effect . any ideas ?

Hi thanks for writing to H.C.M. It seems you are having perianal intertrigo. Keep area dry and clean. Use loose undergarments. Use a steroid antifungal combination at night such as candidb.You can use antifungal powder at day time. Sometimes internal problems such as piles,fissures can lead to repeated perianal irritation.So please get examined for it.
