For four months now I ve had pain in the crack of my butt..doc first thought it was fungi...then I got infection in my foot and it swelled up they took blood and got me on a pill that got rid of that but still have the but pain ...if I put Mupirocin on it then most of the pain is gone but it doesn t heel..went to dermatologist who did a scrapeing of it and gave me pills for seven days only...during that time I still had minor pain but when I finished I had no pain for four days...now it s back and I m trying to figure out exactly what I have as I ve looked on internet as dermatologist said it s e coli infection but everything I ve read doesn t apply to me...so am still not sure exactly what is wrong with me...any suggestions?

Hi,

You have intertrigo which can occur between the buttocks. Intertrigo is often accompanied by an infection caused by dermatophyte and bacterias.

In healthy humans, E. coli is the predominant species of gram-negative bacilli (GNB) in the colonic flora; may transiently colonize skin of healthy individuals, in the vicinity of the anal region. Go for FBS and PPBS for diabetes. Lose weight, if you are obese.

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

Regards,
