Hi there
I have a recurring "cut" on the perenium area just above on the left side of the anus, that seems to looks just like alittle hole, no more than anout 1-2 mm. it seems to come up after going to the bathroom (#2). It stings when i spray water on it to cleanse, and i can sometime feel it just while walking. ive been tested multiple times for herpes, the most recently being 3 months after any sexual activity, and all was negative, my diet is ok, but could be better. I dont feel particularly constipated, but i guess i do starin a bit. Im also struggling with excessive vaginal discharge for which they can find no cause, and most recently also a yeast infection caused by non albicans yeast. Im just wondering how to treat this, and more importantly, how to find a cause. Im willing to do a biopsy, but not sure what they should be looking for. The gyno has seen it, and thinks its a skin breakdown due to excessive moisture in the area. Derm has said the same thing, but i am still concerned. ITs been happening for about a year now. Any info on possible skin conditions/ what docs should look for, different positions for going to the toilet, ANYTHING would be appreciated.I guess the reason i am so scared is beause my symptoms seems to match herpes, but ive had 4 igg specific blood tests this year and all neg- but it keeps happening.
I have also posted this in the dermatology community as this may be a skin issue.
thankyou
