How to treat itchy butt crack?

I believe that many friends do not pay attention to their skin, so sometimes they don’t pay much attention to the itchy feeling in the buttock groove. If you feel itchy in the butt crack, you may have psoriasis, which is a fungal infection. If not treated in time, the bacteria can easily spread over a large area and remain on the patient's clothes, causing more attacks, which is very unfavorable for the treatment of the disease. If it is tinea cruris, it can generally be treated with medication. Secondly, the patient just needs to pay attention to good hygiene care in life. Common treatment drugs include miconazole, amorolfine, etc. If you are not familiar with the drugs, you can consult a doctor.

1. Local treatment: It is the first choice. Commonly used imidazole drugs include 1% bifonazole, 2% miconazole, 1-3% clotrimazole, 2% ketoconazole, 1% econazole, 2% sertaconazole, etc.; allylamine drugs include 1% naftifine, 1% terbinafine or 1% butenafine preparations; others include 2.5% amorolfine, 1% ciclopirox olamine, 2% liranafthate, etc., which are applied topically 1-2 times a day for 2-4 weeks. Milder drugs should be used for patients with tinea cruris and tinea cruris in infants and young children.

2. Systemic treatment: For stubborn generalized tinea corporis, deep tinea corporis, Majocchi granuloma and tinea imbricata, systemic antifungal drugs can be used for treatment. Itraconazole 200 mg/d, 1 week course of treatment, taken with meals; 5 mg/kg.d for children. Terbinafine 250 mg/d, 1 week course of treatment; children weighing 40 kg, 250 mg per day. Fluconazole 150-200 mg/time, once a week, course of treatment 2-4 weeks; children 6 mg/kg.w. Because the fungus of tinea imbricata can often reach deep into the spinous layer, the course of oral antifungal drugs generally requires more than 2 to 3 months, and the treatment should be consolidated for 1 to 2 weeks after all the skin lesions have subsided.

3. Combination therapy: In order to improve the efficacy and reduce the recurrence rate, different types of antifungal drugs can be used in combination, either local and local or local and systemic combined treatment.

Disease prevention

Patients suffering from tinea pedis, tinea onychomycosis and tinea capitis should be actively treated, and close contact with other patients and animals with tinea should be avoided as much as possible. Avoid indirect contact with towels, bathtubs, etc. used by patients. For tinea cruris, you should wear loose clothing, dry yourself thoroughly after bathing, lose weight, wash and iron contaminated clothing and sheets, and use powders topically.
