sore rash on my anus.

Hi, i have a sore rash which covers all of my anus, it is bright red with yellow coloured bits (like little spots) it has spread very quickly and is sore to sit down. i was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on how to get rid of it. Also i have eczema on my feet which is currently badly infected too which means i cannot walk, it is all cracked and some cracks are 2mm wide. the infection on my feet is very small spots which are VERY itchy. please someone give me some advice on how to clear my infections. and how to clear my eczema which i have had for a number of years although i am only 15 years old.
yours sincearly
Daniel.

oral means you take it by mouth, it would be tablets. . i would say " do you think oral prednisone would be helpful for me to get this under control?"

you're very welcome

you may want to ask for an oral steroid for a short course to speed recovery, and you can try wearing cotton socks with heavy cream on your feet at night. that seems to ease the splitting a bit.

Ok thankyou very much i was going to see the doctor anyway but i just wondered if anyone had any ideas about herbal remedies etc because doctors only give you cream. i have been to the doctors about my feet before and they have just given me Hydrocortisone cream which doesnt work at all. but thankyou for your time in answering my post.
best wishes

you need to be seen by a doctor for prescriptions honey. i'm sorry, but there is nothing we can do on the internet to clear an infection with open wounds.

be very careful not to scratch the rashes, cool compresses may help the discomfort, but you need a doctor.
