Red Rash on Buttocks
I have a red rash on my left buttock cheek and it is directly where the skin touches my other buttock cheek. I know I got this from not showering after going to the gym. The rash was itchy the first day I got it, and now it is not itchy but still very red. There is no pain and it is not raised, but I do notice a slight burning sensation when I put hydrocortisone cream. Please help me figure out the correct treatment.

You may be suffering from tinea cruris which is fungal infection of the inner thighs and buttocks area. It can be treated by taking four to six weeks of anti fungal treatment which includes tablets along with creams. Do not use soap over that area. Mistreatment with over the counter Steroid containing creams like fourderm, panderm, quadriderm, hh zole, candid b etc lead to repeated case of recurrence and also side effects due to application. Do not use steroid containing combination creams. Please call me or contact me using online consult option with photos for detailed prescription. Do not delay treatment as it may spread further on your body and also to other people living in the household.,
