Suggest Remedy For Red Welt Formation Near Buttocks After Child Birth
I gave birth 2 weeks ago. Vaginally with stitches. Ive noticed a red welt forming in between my butt crack. Its uncomfortable, and im sure its from all the moisture (tmi blood and sweat) rubbing on the pads. I try to keep it clean and dry when i have time. Anything else i can do?

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to heat rash.
I suggest using an a mild steroid cream for local application such as Calamine lotion.
I also suggest using Cetirizine 10mg daily which is safe to use during lactation.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
