What is the cause for patch near the butt and itchy red area near scrotum?
Patient: I have a very sensitive patch (burning itch) @ the base of my spine, top of butt crack. There is a rough "basketball skin" patch running down inside my butt cheek. Also between my thigh & scrotum & above the penis in the pubic hair is very red & itchy.Blue star ointment gives the only releif but burns terribly.Have tried otc antifungals, benadryl, neosporin, hydrocortizone...you name it, at wits end. Dr. said yeast infection use otc antifungal creme, already know that dont help. In agony please help. Doctor: Hi,  It might be due to fungal infections.  As the first line of management, you can apply topical antifungal like Clotrimazole after cleaning with soap and water.  If symptoms persist better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussain,  General & Family Physician
