Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

We will try to help you in best way possible. First of all it's sad to know what you had been going through lately. Based on the history you have shared, it needs to be evaluated by a dermatologist and local swab cultures may be needed to rule out fungal or bacterial infection. Also local dermatitis or irritant related skin lesion needs to be ruled out. Local application of lubricating oils and avoiding cleaning chemicals should be done. Local examination to rule out surgical conditions like fissures etc needs to be done.

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