Constant redness in perineum

I have had a persistent irritiation / redness right smack in the perineum.  I had other symptoms like a really red anus but after seeing 2 different dermatologist 6 different times we have cleared that up with steroid cream (topicort).  However the redness in the perineum will not give up.  It has been 4 months now.  It does not burn or itch, it just feels irritated.  It is annoying everytime I walk and it starting to really wear on me.

I have tried everything that I can think of to just get rid of it.  The dermatologist does not seem to have any answers either.  

Anyone have any suggestions?

Hi Pedo,
I know that it has been a decade since you posted about your rash in perineum but I was checking to see if you had any success in having it treated?.  I too have suffered for most of my adult life with it and have been to see a number of dermatologists in Europe and the US with no cure.
