Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
The skin on my inner buttox cheeks, beginning at my anus and extending outward, started peeling heavily. At first i assumed it was just a rash or irritation, but after using several different broad spectrum antifungual ointments and creams, and having the peeling reoccur after just a few days...i think its something more serious. The peeling creates a blistered ring on the edge of the peeling, which is darker than the rest of the area, and painfully. The area that has peeled becomes smooth a different texture from the skin in that area. The peeling is so severe that the upper crease (not sure what the proper term is) of my anus becomes raw, like a cut. plz help
As first line management, you can apply low potency steroid creams like betamethasone for symptomatic relief. If the lesion persists, it is better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
