butt chafing

[rampage298]

I am not proudly THE KING OF CHAFING! Why?......I have been chafing since I was 19 years old I am now bout 2 be 22 and I don't mean chafing off and on I mean eevvveeerrrryyy siiinnnnggggllllee day within those years I have suffered this burn from my buttcheeks even as we speak, powders really help the pain but don't cure it except gold bond yes its icy cool but it also burns worse then it already did.Up until last week I have never seen a doctor about it cuz I was embarassed but thinking I was finally going to get it fixed he tells me to leave it alone for 7 to 10 days and I was pissed cuz I could have figured that out myself!He told me not to use powders,do not scrub your butt with soap cuz it leaves residue causing irritation..basicly just let it heal by itself but I cant cuz when I just walk for more than 10 seconds without powder it starts a fire down there how is it supposed to heal?I cant just lay there airing my *** out for 10 days so basicly im screwed,I'm not fat at all n I lift weights when I don't hurt as bad somedays BUT 1 thing I did figure out is that my cheeks are kinda 2 close to each other cuz I looked at my girlfreinds but and she kinda had a tiny gap between her cheeks n mine was smashed together like a grilled cheese sandwich but the doctor said that that shouldn't be why cuz then all overweight people would have this problem 2....Hmmmm why wont mine heal!Please someone give me an answer!!!!!!


This discussion is related to chaffing between butt cheeks.

What I do is I get in the shower, get antibacterial hand soap, wash the chaffed area with your hands because using a body scrubber or rag is to rough it will hurt lol. Then pat dry and go law on you side or stomach but naked and have a fan on your nightstand blow air on your *** and lay their for a little while. I usually do this and it's gone by morning

[Bingo1036]

This is the funniest thing that I've randomly read on the Internet..... Sidenote, my asscheeks are chafing like a mf right now

[LadyReigns]

Wipe affected area with cottonelle wet wipes,  Pat dry with soft towel,  And apply a good chap stick like Carmax.  Won't cure it but you'll be pain free until the next time that you go to the bathroom.  Yes it Burns at 1st but then you're good soon after.  Relieves itching burning and soreness  With a numbing effect.

Do whatever to let it air out keep it dry as possible until it heals up

[Slimthicky]

Yah the doxter was right lol just let it air out im going throught this and its recovering..mine came frm running out of tissue and using a wet towl for two days..i gussed i rubbed the skin off but all u gotta do is think of it as a scrape frm a fall and when u keep a bandaid on it it never heals cause its closed off but when u let it air out the skin grows back..u gotta sleep *** naked at night do whatever to let the chaffed area air out...once its healed it wont burn no more i promise

I'm sorry the item I posted about is spelled incorrect its correct spelling is vagicaine and I truely love that stuff I all all most every visit to walmart. Again hope this helps.

[Melissanot]

I know your a guy and all, but if your really in pain this will help. I'm over weight and have use this myself and it works great. Also what I would do is put a pillow case in between your cheeks and lay it over one side this way no meat is touching so hopefully no chafing. The stuff is called vagicare get it at walmart by the pads for women. When you put it on the first time it might hurt for a second then it goes away just depends on how bad the chafing is. This stuff will numb the area when the area is numb thats when the pain stops. Just try it and see, try a little spot and then go from there. Hope this helps. Again I know this works I've had chafing too many times to remember.

I have a similar problem but my last name is Chafin so I think I am deserving of the title THE KING OF CHAFING

Did anyone from this post find a treatment that works?

[EightiesGirl12]

Never shave your butt as taking off hair makes it worse! Believe it or not- hair is in your butt for a reason- to prevent chafing!
USE one of these miracle workers: Chamois Butt'r, Body Glide, Butt Shield or Lanacane Anti Chafing Gel. Gold Bond Powder is way better than plain powder or even corn starch.
Aquaphor in a good treatment to heal butt rash. Then use one of the above to prevent it.

What to use for chaffing between you buttocks

[stillsadbutt8]

for me I know that I have had a few contributing issues that all aggravate eachother. I started out with candida, excess yeast. After doing a sugar free diet for a long time and medication that got better but I think my skin was weakened and so I had mild hemorrhoids. Not anything sticking out, but red, swollen and irritable tissue that itches and is sensitive. I think a lot of you are describing mild hemorrhoids, (it is actually a varicose vein of the butt). This has come and gone over a couple years but evolved into an anal fissure! I feel like all of this might have been made worse by having coarse hair and chaffing.

My next move is to go to a colorectal Dr. that actually knows about this stuff. Normal Drs. are not helpful at all, get a referral. I'm also planning on getting laser hair removal done if the Dr thinks that would help.. For the rest of you, you have nothing to loose by using some colotrimisol, over the counter antifungal cream for 10 days or so. Might as well treat the easy part first.

I have the same issue as you have as well...I have tried everything including the doctors recommended treatments. The only way I finally stopped it was I started wearing thong underwear on a suggestion from someone. I thought what the hell, I tried everything else. Not only did this stop my problem but they feel pretty nice too. Hope this helps.

[sparklebelle]

I have this prob too but without any pain....it just looks horrible. And I've had it for months. I'm going to try the Lanacane anti-chafing gel. Hoping it will help! Good luck to you!

Try some white petroleum jelly to repel the moisture... Long distance runners
Have the same problem... Works very well....

Try Balmex adultcare rash cream. It worked wonders after I tried everything. I bought it at Walgreens at 11:00pm due to my pain from chaffing and even some bleeding. After applying I had a good night sleep and I have no pain after one treatment.  

[MsPainInTheButt]

Just purchase some Balmex adult rash cream, it burns like hell when I first applied it and about ten minutes later I'm starting to feel some type of relief, let's see how I feel in the morning after a good nite rest.

[Unclebuttbutt]

I know this might sound crazy but I have chafing between my cheeks after working and sweating from a lot of walking. My butt check are pressed together tight. The only thing that works like magic is carmex. I put it on the reddened area it stops the burning and helps it heal quickly

[sparkleblueeyes]

I also have the same problem. I have been dealing with this problem for about 4 to 5 years now. I have been given multiple creams and it didnt work. Then today I went to my gastronlogist and she said there isnt anything she could do cuz she said it is a tear between my buttcheecks and a rash as well and it looks like a open wound. So she told me to see my determologist. I got to call her tomorrow to make a appointment

[mountainman26]

had this problem from hiking, no signs or rash or redness after a week but hurts like hell I can barely wear underwear because the seams rub and cause pain. Someone told me could be caused by a fungus. I had jock itch years ago from hiking and every now and then it will come back, thinking the bad chafe acted like a petri dish for jock itch to spread. Trying anti fungal creams, see if this works. something for others to consider if the problem doesnt go away and have had something like jock itch in the past.

[mwe2012]

I have had the same problem for the past 2 to 3 years, i started running and i would get the rash, stinging, itchy, blood spotting and i have racked my brain trying to figure out the problem. I thought i was lactouse, then i went to a doctor and he gave me a colonoscopy, and found nothing, but yet it continues. I have used preperation h wipes and that just burns more, and i use tucks cream, that helps and it actually goes away, but then when i go running again, and not even for a long period of time, it starts up again, usually after about 10 mins into my run, i am shocked to know now that this is a common issue amoung many me and women, so i know im not alone, but please, if anyone knows what it is let me know...this is ust insane.

Follow-up from my post of January 23, 2011:  The intial treatment of the soreness/redness/spot bleeding did indeed work as described.  Since that time, I use the Aquaphor Healing Ointment by Eucerin on a daily basis after I have washed the area thoroughly.  Just a very small amount has keep the problem from recurring.  Walgreens has a similar product which is less expensive--they stock it right next to the AHOE (funny !).  Although, with the amount I use, one jar of AHOE lasts me 12 months.  I did try vasoline but it did not have the staying power as does the AHOE--like I said, once/day and problem solved.

[bartimus]

I have the same problem. I've had it for 25 years. The only thing I've found that has worked is applying moisturizers (the more greasy the better) to use as a lubricant and using wet wipes instead of TP. I've been looking at some newer products. The powder gels do nothing for me. I need something that makes the daily chaffing slide.

[mommy2one4now]

Wow this is actually a common problem I didn't know... Anyways I feel your plight however I didn't see a dr bcz its an embarrassing issue although I was totally about to cure it myself. Don't really know what triggerred this but trying to keep the area as dry as possible is the trick but its hard to do bcz of sweating by movement. Tried powders that didn't work, baking soda didn't work, usong wipes to clean definitely didn't work bcz it just made the area sorer and redder. So after all that I decided to just use plain ole vaseline (after thoroughly bathing & drying the area completely as possible) and within hours or days can't reall remember but it was swift - the inter surface of my buttocks ws back to normal. Dependoing on the source of yoUr issue this could definitely work.
