Suggest Remedy For Itchy Rashes Around The Anal Region In Males

Male, 81COPD, but otherwise healthy. Has a severe itching rash around and inside anal area. Looks like 2 or 3 layers of skin have been rubbed off, with purplish color skin appearance, approximately 3 in circular size. Used Ttriple Biotic Cream, Gold Bond Ointment, tried change of detergent, and nothing seems to help. Diagnosis, and cure would be greatly appreciated.

Dermatologist, Dr. Ilyas Patel's Response

Hi,

It may be perianal dermatitis most probably. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment.

I would suggest as below - tab. Cetirizine daily till itch is relieved
- wormicidal tablet like Albendazole straight
- apply mild steroid cream with antibiotic cream
- Sitz bath in Dettol water
- avoid stress.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
