Hello Dr. I have had this umcomfortable rash/irritation for a few months now in & around my anus. I have never had any problems in that area before a year ago. I did have jock itch a while back. About 2 months ago I had a trombosed hemorrhoid, the one that there was a lump. Actually that never hurt and finally went away. I then have been having major problems with irritation. Very raw feeling. Not much itching at all. At night nothing bothers me, the only time is when I am
moving around, walking, working out, & sitting. I did manage to look at the area and its very red around the anus area & irritated. The redness is around the area where the cheeks meet, like in the crack. If I go to the bathroom its worse. If I do not apply any cream there its almost impossible to walk without discomfort. I went to a rectal Dr. & he said everything looks ok but he does see irritation. I have been to him 2x already. I looked all over the net for symptoms for a yeast infection
but I really cannot get a answer. Can you tell me what are the symptoms of yeast infection in & around the anus? I have been using proto something the Dr. gave me for a while & it works at times and then it comes back bad. I also have used clotromazole cream as well, any cream helps but then later on
it hurts again. No itching though. If it was yeast I would assume it would itch at times? Also, why do I not feel any problem when I sleep? Any info. would help, I am trying battling this problem for some time now. Is this serious? Yeast? Irritation? Common? What should I use? My bowels are ok. Thank you.
