Itchy anal rash with pilonidal sinus

I have been diagnosed with a pilonidal sinus, and a general surgeon has examined me and recommended surgery. I also have red, itchy skin around the anal opening and the surrounding area. The itching is still present. I had previously used Castor MF occasionally, but I haven't been applying it recently, and the itching has continued. There is no bleeding or pain during bowel movements. Since I am going to have surgery for the pilonidal sinus, I would like to know: Could the redness and itching be a fungal infection or simple skin irritation? Is it safe to use a simple antifungal cream such as clotrimazole around the anal area, or should I use something else? Should I discuss this specifically with my surgeon before the surgery? Thank you.

Pelvic floor muscles chronic pain

Follow everything told by doctor still my muscles aren't relaxing. I had undergone kshar sutra & fissure tissue removal surgery 4 months ago. I had been following everything. Still my muscles & spinchter aren't relaxing. & causing incomplete evacuation & cramps. I've undergone almost 4 anal surgeries. I'm still suffering. My body has become weak & lost lot of weight coz of those painful procedures. I really can't undergo another surgery for same. I have other probs & surgeries too.I have no bleeding or discharge.No much pain too. I recently discovered that I had this habbit of half bending/ half squatting while peeing more like bending a little & standing. Since 7 years I have never sat down to pee. I was avoiding UTI & did that. Could that have caused muscle disorientation & tension leading to chronic pain? If yes please guide how to relax again like it used to be 7 years ago. Please🙏 😭
