I am female and have a reoccurring infection in the crack of my buttocks that sometimes bleeds. I have been prescribed anti fungal medications, both oral and topical for, it clears up and then comes back. I also dry the area as best that I can after bathing.
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Your history suggests that you may be having interglacial intertwine with fissure. It may be due to candida infection super added with bacterial infection. In this area fissure is very painful due to stretching of the skin while sitting. You need to take rest in sleeping position. Site bath in detail water in tub daily for five minutes during bath would be helpful. Apply antibiotic cream like gentamicin with antifungal cream like clotrimazole might reduce the infection. Painkiller like NSAIDs, antibiotics and antifungal may be given. I would suggest You to consult dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment. Thank you.
