I got a bad case of Asscrackitis during a trip to Mount Rainier one fall. It was caused by sitting for long periods of time with a sweaty period blotter. The only way I was able to cure it was to sleep in the nude for several days so that my ass could get some air. That, and I kept it dry.

I get asscrackitis every winter. The dry air gives me dry skin, and of course that includes my crack. For some reason my crack seems to get it worse than any other part of my body. I just put some mosturizing lotion on there a couple times a day and that helps, although it doesn't go away until spring (and higher humidity) comes.

I also get asscrackitis from time to time. I get it from walking a lot at my place of work. My ass gets "broke" if I use that cheap TP they provide. Walking with asscrackitis is horrible. It feels like a burr or pinecone is stuck between my ass cheeks. I try to cure it by applying lotion to my butt cheeks. It generally goes away after a few days.

The other day I was embarassed because I actually got a fungal infection down there. My asscrack was bright red and smelled like moldy bread. Ew!

I too suffer from asscrackitis. It starts out as a dull pain then persists into a cracked ass crack. It is super painful and goes away in a couple days for me. I feel sorry for those who get it all winter. One time it wasn't split yet and then I squat down and the pain that insued nearly made me cry. For some reason I always want to touch it to see how its doing and that probably makes it worse. I'm glad I stumbled across this little string of pooreports. I thought I was the only sufferer of asscrackitis. And as for the The Shit Volcano's moldy bread smell.... I think your asscrackitis has turned into soomething much much worse. Good luck with that.

I am currently (well recovering) from Asscrackitis. I got mine yesterday evening (Tuesday) when I went for a 3 mile run. Last night it wasn't too bad, but when I work up this morning....ouch. I used vaseline because that's all I could find and that was a temporary relief. My cousin once recommended Chap-Stick and that does work for mild cases, but mine is bad. To top it off, I'm a teacher so I have to walk around all day in front of students. The best treatment I found was a body powder (Gold Bond) or just regular old corn starch...DON'T USE BABY POWDER (NOT GOOD). I have never had luck with any creams. After work today i picked up some powder and now it's gone. If the creams don't work for you, like they don't work for me, try Gold Bond or Corn Starch...they are far more effective in my experience. I know what your thinking, they may overdry the area and cause more chaffing. Asscrackitis is a cause of moisture that isn't able to breath so it makes your skin pruney (sp?), just like your fingers after sitting in a bath tub too long. The problem worsens when you apply a cream because you're block in the moisture. Generally speaking, creams like to stick together and your cheaks will stick and not breath. Take it from me, I'm Asscrackitis free!

My friend Kayla has a terrible case of asscrackitis. She complains all the time that her ass hurts! I feel bad , I pray for it to go away. I sometimes have to wash or put ontment on her ass for her. Sometimes I watch her ass jiggle and the flakes fall all over, I try and eat them...they arouse me. We should start a fundraiser for Asscrackitis.

About a week ago I wore a thong to go fishing in very hot weather. I had white pants on so there was no other choice! (As if wearing white pants fishing wasn't dumb enough.) In any case, I got a bad case of asscrackitis. It was fine that day, but the next day my butt was bad news! The creams worked for a while, but I think they started to make it worse after a few days. Sleeping naked and airing out worked best for me. I am happy to annouce my crack is feeling much better now.

Omg, y'all have no idea how much you've helped me. I just recently came down with a case of asscrackitis and was horrified with the idea of something being wrong with my crack! I was so releaved to finally find that there are others out there like me! From reading your entries, I think mine must have come from a very sweaty game of mini-golf in jeans the other day. Any ideas on how to speed up recovery? I've been waddeling around feeling like I've got a razor blade in my crack, and I'm sure it's not appealing.

dear ass expertis.
just a few minutes ago i walked in on a barium filled ass chamber smiling a very disconcerting grin and winking at me, im kinda nervous. should i pray for rain?

My GF recently came down with the asskrackitus. I have been a once and a while sufferer. I have assured her that with time and a dry crack it will be ok. Typically I have found that it is usually caused by a large quantity of walking on a hot day. Once, a bar owner akinned a disagreeable experience with a "chapped ass on a hot day." Your site is great! Keep up the good work.

I have noticed that I get asscrackitis more often in the winter time around the Pacific Northwest. For some reason the cold and wet causes it.

Of course it is not the same cause that some druggie neighbor of mine had. The guy actually got fungus in his asscrack. Of course, he only bathed once a month if he remembered in his pothead stupor.

NORMAL asscrackitis can be painful and burny. I have discovered from a recent bout that the best cure for it is the following:

1. Dry your crack as much as possible.
2. Clean it out with a wet wipe.
3. Wipe with a Tucks medicated pad.
4. Seal in the medicine with Preparation H gel.

Works every time.

I also suffer from asscrackitis. I thought I was alone but knew that was silly. So I found this forum. My suffering is worst just above the hole
here --> ^
hole --> 0
sack -->())
It's making me crazy. It hurts and is flaky and shit so I put vasaline or some other cream on it to keep it supple and not sore but it really does flake. I went to the dumb ass doctor and he's just like "well leave it alone". I'm like "this is what im paying for? fix it you dick!". Anyway I think it gets much much worse when I sit all day, I'm a computer programmer so all I do is sit. Also I lean way back while im working and I think that makes it worse to. It might be a blood flow thing from sitting on it and keeping pressure on it all day. I'm not sure what else to do this has been going on for like 6 months. I tried leaving it alone and letting it be dry but it starts to bleed and it sort of kills the sex life with the wife. "Sorry honey I can't bang you my ass is to sore to get a hard on..." So I keep up the vasaline/chapstick/aquafore applications three times a day and pray for relief.

WTF..., your schematic showing the location of your asscrackitis made me fall off my chair. The whole time I was reading your account, I thought I was listening to a Jerky Boy's routine. Sorry you're suffering, and while you may be giving your wife little pleasure, you sure gave me lots. Thanks

famous people get it too

ok - i have a very sharp pain right at the top of my asscrack ( i can feel my tailbone very near the surface of my skin in that area ) ...and that is what causes the problem - i sit all day at a computer, and the pressure from my tailbone pressing out and down makes the skin tender at the top of my ass crack. The only relief i get is from icing it for 5 or so minutes at a time, and trying not to sit for too long so the pressure doesn't make it worse....like to the point of causing a bed sore type of lesion ----ouch ! This is proof that we were never meant to sit for prolonged periods of time....

i had a case of asscrackitus too and it got so bad it made my crack bleed! i thought i was dying but then i read this. thanks a lot.

I have had a bad case of asscrackitus too. Its been about 6 months now off and on. I was sick for almost 2 weeks due to some type of food poisoning and during those 2 weeks I was almost constantly on the toilet. I wiped my crack so often that I developed a small split in the skin near my tailbone. That little split has caused some bleeding occasionally. Also since then I have had much more irritable crack skin. I walk a lot at work and I my skin become really irritated. Please if anyone knows how to solve any of these two problems let me know.

I had this as well. And the only thing that worked for me was Aveeno cream. Real good Stuff.....oh, and remove that THONG!

So, I'm thinking that if it's moisture driven and doesn't go away on its own, it's probably a fungal infection. Think: jock itch of the crack.

Probably trying some jock itch ointment would help. If it helps after day 2 (usually when jock itch stuff starts working), you're on the right path.

Don't use a spray, and don't put the stuff up the chute. Use the ointment kind. And don't use the athelete's foot one. They make it harsher, and even though the jock itch stuff is designed for the "guys", I'm sure it's going to hurt pretty good in the crack.

I haven't tried it myself because whenever I've had asscrackitis, the airing-out method and gentle wiping has worked.

That's my theory, anyhow. Let us know if it works.

UPDATE: ok I still have bouts of asscrackitis but not as bad. I bought a much better chair for that is helping. I also keep my crack supple with some petroleum based butt grease made for babies. It's called A&D Ointment. I tried the anti-fungal to no avail. I tried it a long time aog because I had the same thought that it might be like jock-itch/athletes crack.
Also when wiping I try to use a little jergens lotion or something if its not such a nice doo doo. You know what I mean? Like if it's a firm, round longish one that's round on one end and pointy on the other and it slides out clean, the wiping is pretty much a formality. But, if you have a few drinks and some funky Mexican food the night before and your dooky is more like the consistency of TOOTH PASTE.... The wiping is a real chore, it's 90% of the work. Thats when I use some lotion on the tissue. It makes clean up go much faster and easier.

So, in closing my advice is this.
Get a good/expensive chair I live the Aeron but couldn't afford it so i bought a knock off. Grease up after a shower. Wipe with lotion on tissue if possible.

good luck.

I sit on my rear 12hrs a day, I usually sit without standing for upto 6hrs straight. Since I lean back in my chair this caused my upper crack to seal in the magic and due to the padding of the chair, my rear sweats. Wel, I get the same burning/itching right below my tail bone. Solution that will fix the problem in 4 days, "Lotrimin AF Spray Powder". Just shower before at the beginning of the day, Spray your crack with the stuff. Go to work, Come home and take another shower. Spray your crack again and go to bed without with no bottoms. You will feel better within 4 days, completely heeled in 1 week.

Wow at least I am not dying or going insane I have found my support group. Thanks for all the free advice. I will try it all!!!!

I also have asscrackitis and my 18 month old daughter has it too. WTF is going on? I read every single entry and I believe ours is fungal related...we take baths together so I imagine we are spreading it around. Can someone recommend a anti fungal? Jebus!

If you think it's fungal you should really go see a doctor. Fungi can be difficult to get rid of and on a female especially a young one who cannot express herself well can be very dangerous. If it goes into her vagina (do to proximity) could cause reproductive problems or worse.

I have asscrakitis, but what's worse is that i can't take a dump. It's only been a day but everytime i try to take a dump the pain is excruciating! Does anyone know what would help maybe soften my feces? Or anything else that would help this butt of mine.

Ive had chappy ass for a while now and have just tried blistex (the kind in the little squeeze tube) and I think I may have something here!

YIKES! Wouldn't Blistex BURN? It's mentholated, isn't it? Yow.

wow! i've been suffering from asscrackitis for a while now, not knowing what it was...kinda went away for a while but is back in force and much worse. i thought i'd see if i could find anything on the net about it, and voila! it hurts to sit...stretch legs apart (sex is very painful). it's itchy and at night i tend to scratch it then wake up with the pain.
ew! horrid thing!

Try taking long baths and sleeping naked (I do all the time anyway =P). Also rub some sort of cream on it. Call me crazy but it works.

Practicing the ancient Chinese art of double flushing... because sometimes, a single flush just isn't enough.

I thought I was alone but this site brings new hope - there are other people with splitass disease... Ive had it on and off for two years now. Big split - up to an inch long sometimes that has left scarring. Bleeds sometimes. Can hurt like nothing else when hot water gets in it from showering. I blame my tailbone - maybe I have a semi-tail that pushes skin out too much. I went to a doctor, she said 'Live with it'. Biggest waste of $52.00 ever. Another doctor said Hydracordazone (bad spelling) but no luck. I get it after going in badass mosh pits from all the sweat. Woe is me

Maybe you could have it surgically stitched closed, like when they pin kids' ears back.

Mmmm...Fiber: Nature's Broom!

Sounds like this from another poonurse thread, pilonidal disease, right here.

wow thanks everyone for sharing their asscrackitis stories. the tips seem helpful. i have been using aveeno cream with hydrocortisone in it for a couple days and it is REALLY HELPING. it still does hurt and itch but i can see it getting better. another piece of advice- DO NOT TOUCH IT!!! i know that is hard but dont.

Well, I seem to have 3 little holes in the top of the crack that hurt so bad. I can't sit comfortably or squat. Every movement hurts. I am a sufferer of asscrackitis and it's no fun. I don't know is the holes are normal cause I never knew there were holes until I made my boyfriend look at it and take pictures so I can see... it really sucks.. HELP!!1

You have a YEAST infection. Get thee to the dermatologist and get:

Locoid Lipocream 0.1% Ferm
Oxistat 1% Cream Phar

You mix a dab of each together and put it on your hi-knee crack.

Ali, if you're a boss, tell your employees to use Chapstick.

"Vini, Vidi, Vomiti" (we came, we saw, we got sick on the plane")

yes, i too suffer from this terrible affliction, the dreaded asscrackitis. it just started happening sporadically a year ago. awesome! i tried the a&d diaper rash ointment and that didn't really work, so i switched to aquafor. recently that hasn't been working, so i'll try some of those other tips... thanks!

I just discovered that my ass HAD a crack. As I consider that a defect, I sent it back to the manufacturer. They sent it back on a large plate. Guess I can now tell people they handed me my ass on a platter.

yo i think i have asscrackitis but i dont know i have a really itchy crack and i've had it for months and when i scratch it it feels better then later on i will get a bad burning feeling like sand paper is down my crack can anyone help as to info as to what i have please i feel like im dying please help me

My butt hurts and I am not a homosexual. My ass feels like it is splitting as if my ass is a log caught in a log splitter. Is there any cream or medicine you can recommend for my painful poopshoot? Thank you...I need relief!

I've had an incredible itchy poop-shoot for months now. When I take a shower I can't stop itching it. It feels so good. My wife said there's yeast down there, so now I'm dabbing her medication and praying I won't have too many more shower scratching sagas! sheesh!

Hi I'm back. I still have the occasional bout of asscrackitis, mostly from sitting too much. but I promise you salvation if you shower twice a day, get plenty of fluids, sleep bottomless and lotion up or use some butt grease. The worst things you can do is sit all day long, don't shower before bed, drink coffee all day and wine or beer at night, (dehydration is part of the problem). Should take 5-7 days to recover from a bad bout.

Ok this is the worst. My ass is just fucking burning. Ive been an asscrackitis sufferer since the age of about 15. At which time I worked at a golf course and was on my feet all day. My ass would just drive me nuts. Being young I didnt think there was any help and found relif in using the nice cold rubber golf club grips as a scratching post. Over the years ive tried packing my ass with tp over night to dry it out (doest do a damn thing),putting baby powder on it... creams lotions powders. Nothing would help my flaming ass crack. I find the best thing to do is leave it along. Sleep bottom less and use polysporin if it starts to crack. Other then that. Avoid from sticking your hand down the poop shoot in front of innocent by standers. Its not charming...no matter how bad it needs a clawing

In the last three weeks or so, I started feeling really itchy in my crack. Not my hole, but above my hole... like where my tailbone ends. I freaked out (naturally) thinking I had herpes. It like comes and goes, isn't very consistent and last night I itched so much that it caused little cracks between my butt cheeks. I've read everyone's entry, and I'm hoping it's nothing serious (std)!!! I tried standing in front of the mirror, spreading my cheeks to see, but the little cuts I got from scratching are very tiny... and plus, it hurts to spread or even touch with my finger. I'm somewhat relieved but still worry... any other females relate to this?

thank you for the advice!

i got it at work,
fuck you crappy work! cant afford good toilet paper,

im gonna try the airing out function
wish me luck!

i think i got the asscrackitis and i thought something was definitely wrong with me but after finding this site im sure its not that bad. I dont even know how i got it but i wear jeans and sweats all the time. Maybe that is the problem.

I wonder if once all these assholes are healed up, if a little smear of antiperspirant would do the trick?

Wipe, then swipe. No sweat.

I've had fissure at the top of my butt crack for quite some time now. I truely beleive it is caused by soggy bottom, or swamp ass. It feels like what i'd imagine a bed sore would feel like. My Girl friend has attempted to mend the two inch long fissure several times with Q-tips and cotton swabs. i've taped medicated gauze to the crack also. nothing worked until I powdered it with flour. It created a cake like substance in the crevase to which i removed with a butter knife. I reccomend using lilly white self rising flour. I gurantee this method. give it a shot.

I don't know if I have asscrackitis but ever since I started working at my job 1 year ago my but crack has been getting really sweaty and after a couple of hours I burns like a mutha. Ive tried to pack it with toilet paper to dry it out but only helps for awile then I tied to put gold bond on it and it makes it burn more but feel dry for awile. I dont have bumps or anything unusual but now I feel like its an everyday thing and can't get rid of it. I want to try creams but moisture is the reason why it gets red and sore. It dont hurt as long as i dont walk for more than ten minutes or else it starts up again and after it gets moist i try to wipe with toilet paper and it looks like i didnt wipe well enough when going doo doo and i make sure its all gone, I dont know if theres a leak in my asscrack or wut but it hurts like hell and dont want to do anything but air it out.Please help!!!!

anonymous:

"it looks like i didnt wipe well enough when going doo doo and i make sure its all gone, I dont know if theres a leak in my asscrack or wut but it hurts like hell"

That's a pretty good tell-tail sign of a hemoroid. You see the swelling of a Roid holds back just a little poop, which leaks out later. It will itch and burn, so go back a wipe again gently, carefully, and apply prep-H. If burning too much try the cooling gel...ahhhhhh. Never hold a poop in when it wants out, (don't crap yer pants) but holding puts so much pressure on the roid that it will surely pop out, and likely bleed while wipeing. So get some prep-H and start feeling good again.

do this....take a cotton ball and soak it in rubbing alcohol....now grab an apple and stick it in your mouth...bend over and stick that piece of cotton in your crack and rub it all in...you are i guarantee your ass will catch fire and you will rocket to the moon...and you will probably curse yourself....but this is what worked for me....i did this for a week straight....it cleared up my itchy ass and all that mess...after the third day of doing this it felt much better...also....after the burning stops...about a minute after u put the cotton...it will feel so much better trust me.

well, i've always been acussed of being cracked. I haven't laughed so hard in yrs. I'm glad i found this cos i thought it was some horrible desease i was fighting. AAAHHH what relief, seems everyone as a damp ass that gets cracked. Thanks for sharing.

Ive had this problem in my crack for about a year now and ive tried Vaseline, AntiBiotic with like a type of band air to make sure its on it like just above the hole ive got this nasty split that looks like a cut i think i got from not drying properly ive also tried leaving it alone.. and i cant think of anything else to do for it ive read other problems and they all sound similar to the type i have like mine gets itchy and it starts to get sore and i have this need to grab TP and wipe at it and everytime i do it bleeds.So any thing you suggest for my problem i would love it so i cant go back to not having the need to itch at my crack any more!!

My husband and I both have this problem. We use baby wipes to clean and Desitin, what they use on babies for diaper rash, afterwards. It clears it right up everytime. The baby wipes are gentle and soothing. If you buy the ones with aloe in them, it really helps. I have suggested this cure to tons of people and they all say the same thing-that it works miracles almost over night.

I got asscrackitis after 10 days of antibiotics that caused 10 days of diahrrea. (Sound like a biblical plague!!!!!!!!!!!!) I have been trying to wipe well, but it stings like hell when I do wipe, and the baby wipes sting the worst!!! (I have two young ones, so I have been eying their creams lately...) So far, I tried neosporin which helps a little, but it keeps coming back. As soon as it starts getting better, I will carelessly sit down on the toilet, and the resulting spread of my cheeks brings the asscrackitis right back to where I started. I just sprayed with jock itch medicine... hopefully this will help. I know Antibiotics causes yeast infections, so perhaps this is indeed a yeast infection... I suggest sitting gently while trying to rid yourself of this plague...

"I got asscrackitis after 10 days of antibiotics that caused 10 days of diahrrea." "I will carelessly sit down on the toilet, and the resulting spread of my cheeks brings the asscrackitis right back to where I started." OMG, I was gonna put the same thing down but then I read it from someone else. I feel so much better knowing im not the only one:) Mine is a little different, it never itches just burns if I touch it, wipe it or go pee or poo. This morning i found it was not only above my ass crack but now it has moved below it as well. Last night I plopped myself down lazily on the toilet and literally felt it rip open, ouch! I tried polysporin and even monastat(thinking it might be yeast) but no relief yet:( I guess ill try the hydrocortizone now......

Anoymous, if this happened last night, DO NOT USE THREE DIFFERENT CREAMS ON YOUR BUTT!!!

Try one for a few days (4-6) then go to another cream if it doesn't work. You cannot expect it to go away in an hour or two.

You should also GO TO A DOCTOR so that you know exactly what creams are appropriate to use for the specific condition you have going on your crack.

Damn it, people. Use common sense.

Fart Poopie: Duh, ive already been to a doc. This happened the first time 7 months ago when i was pregnant and fat. The doc said to wash with Ivory and try Clotrimozol. That helped but it keeps coming back. I just happened to feel it rip even more the other night and those are the most recent creams I have tried.....

I have found THE cure. I've suffered like many of you for years with the recurring butt crack/itchy butt and have tried many different things including a trip to the dreaded proctologist. I thought this cure up on my own. IT WORKS! So here's what you do: wash and dry the area (i use a hairdryer on low). Then apply a SMALL amount of pure lanoline (mine says it's for cracked nipples of nursing mothers). Do this once or twice a day. Presto...problem is GONE!

Has anyone seen a physician for this condition? I have similar symptoms, a cut/split at the top of my butt crack, only without the itching. I started having this problem eight months ago when my dentist had me on antibiotics for over six weeks to cure a tooth infection. I too have tried and continue using, Neosporin and Monistat creams; they help for a while but don't seem to cure it. I'll be seeing my OB/GYN next week. Hope he has some answers and a cure for me. I'll share with all next time.

thank the poop gods for this site! i just came down with asscrackitis and had no idea what my problem was. this is enlightening AND entertaining. yay!

I get a Swamp Ass induces case of Asscrackitis. Some days at work on jobs get very hot and all the sweat runs all down my body to my ass crack then followed by walking the newly soaked cheeks rub against each other like 2 cacti. I found baby powder and Goldbond medicated powder before hand kinda helps soak up the sweat with a menthol tingle at you sac cool breezes await.

I started having occasional problems with this three or four years ago. My internist didn't seem to know what it was, so I went to a dermatologist,and he said it was a yeast infection. The first time I had it, he gave me a single pill to take for it, and then some cream to put on it. Then I got it again about 12-18 months later. That time, he gave me two different types of cream to apply to it,(he said it was the same yeast infection) Anyway, both of these treatments cleared the problem up in a day or two, although he told me to keep applying the cream for a week or two. If you can afford one office visit to a dermatologist, I think he/she can fix your problem very quickly.

I found some of the serious postings truly funny. I suggest rereading them.
Producing waste since 1967

I have this for a few years, no luck. I saw one dermatologist, who gave me a few lotions. But they didn't help beyond the time I put them on. One of them is inotyol, which I keep putting when it hurts, and it always help. But it doesn't prevent it from comming again. By the way I found out that inotyol is good also for about any other skin condition that I had, from acne, to dry skin on the elbow. The Dr. also told me to wash my ass with water after I take a dump, rather then to whipe it. So I wash it. It also helps, especially when it hurts, since shit over the wound hurts, and washing it instead of rubbing it in hurts less, and also feels better later. Recently I figured that sometimes my shit is too big for my poor asshole, and that hurts the wound. I found out that I can press on the shit with my ass muscles before it gets to the sore point, and compress it. This way when the shit gets to the sore point it is less wide, and pass through more easily, and without a painful further expantion to my poor asshole. I need to see an other doctor. Why doesn't it just go away already.

Wow. You´ve made my day. Now I know that I have a problem, that I´m not alone and that there isn´t a cure for it :(

Took me ages to find some site that discussed asscrackitis, and reading through made me laugh and has probably given me some useful tips. I tend to get it from sweating all day and walking, it doesnt help farting aswell as this doesnt bode well when sweating in the heat. I currently have e45 on my ass but t feels really wet so Im gonna wipe it off and let it dry out over night being naked with a fan next to my bed. This is a risk though as there is quite a few mosis around house at the mo so I may end up with a mosi bite or two in the morning,

just sleep naked and keep yah crack dry, it'll be 75% gone by morning, also try shaving all tha tiny hairs off your ass, tha chapped ass comes from the skin staying moist and rubbing together.

i as well have a case of asscrackitis. so iv'e recently moved to the land of israel. iv'e never suffered from this before but about a week ago it hit me. i guess why it started is because of the heat (which i'm not used to because i come from new york) and maybe becase i often wear thongs, but that aspect has never been an issue. i feel a burning/stinging/, painful and itchy sensation at the tip inside of the crack, above the ass hole. and it's also quite red. iv'e been applying cortizone on it every night after my shower, but i don't think that that has been helpful. i dont know what to do, and i need your help poopreporters! i don't think i can do it without you! all your stories have been extremely helpful and entetaining. i'm glad there is a community of asscrackitises out there. thanks.

please respond. i need help

Hey REal Deal! Tiny holes? Might be Pilonidal Sinuses! Look it up!

Yeah i get this once in a while... have it now, i am going to to go sleeping naked.. i already slept without a shirt... maybe i should swap so i ever have to run out in a fire i can be at least half way there lol.

Ps. Yes... it burns like hell... showering used to be decent... now it burns like a mother.

I was just curious. Does anybody know whats up with those red ass monkeys you see sometimes on the Discovery channel. They look like they need to dip their asses in a pail of witch hazel.

I get a paralysing shooting pain in the bung hole sometimes. I can barely stand, walk or talk for 1 -2 minutes.
And don't even get me stated about "laying cable"! The last time I dropped the kids at the pool, my wife could hear me whimper from the next room.
I have been to the Dr, it seems I have a yeast infection, AND AN ANAL FISSEUR, a tearing of the arse.
I was previously using creams to try to sooth what I thought was chapped ass, which was actually a yeast infection. But these creams kept my crack moist and encouraged the fungal growth, leading to weakened skin and the fisseur.

This has been ongoing for over 2 years.
It helps to know I am not alone.

i GET IT WHEN SITTING TO LONG , BEFORE BED I WASH WITH MILD SOAP , DRY WELL THEN APPLY A THIN COAT OF VICKS RUB ( IT WILL BURN FOR 15 SECONDS OR SO THEN FEEL COOL , ) THEN GO TO BED NAKED , TO AWAKE THE NEXT MORNING WITH MOST OF YOUR PROBLEM GONE > iN THE MORNING REPEAT TREATMENT BUT BE CAREFULL AS THE VICKS MIGHT SHOW A STAIN IN THE BACK OF YOUR CLOTHING , HELPS IF YOU WEAR DARK CLOTHING
lET ME KNOW THE RESULTS aT AAAGRAVEL@YAHOO.CA

Menthol and camphor ARE considered to have anti-biotic properties, so this might be why it works.

Thank you for that tip.

I didn't expect to find an entire page dedicated to my problem when I typed "chapped butt crack" into google search! Goldmine! I have a raging case of asscrackitis. I think it is the result of several factors, but mainly due to a long distance drive and a lot of butt-time over the holiday. I've been using tea tree oil on it for it's antiseptic and healing properties. Also, triple-bac ointment takes the edge off and soothes inflamed, red tissue.

A word of warning to all of you fellow asscrackitis sufferers. Do not scratch, under any circumstances. Of course, I knew I shouldn't scratch, but I was unable to control the urge in my sleep and woke up with a burning sensation and knew I must have scratched it. Anyway, long story short, in a few days time, my itchy crack turned into something much worse - a cellulitis infection of the skin and surrounding tissue around my tailbone which caused the skin to actually break apart. My crack actually cracked. Not to mention the pain and soreness from the infection and swelling around the tailbone that made it painful to sit, lie down, stand, everything basically. I had never in my life heard of anyone getting an infection in their buttcrack but leave it to me to accomplish this. This has been a very embarassing situation to say the least and I am still finishing up a round of some very strong antibiotics. Just remember - Don't scratch! Wear mittens to bed if you have to.

thank god for this site. my ass has been burning/itching like a motherfucker for the last year+. i'm in IT and basically sit on my ass all day. i'm not a fatty at all (6'0 165 soaking wet), but i'm pretty sure it comes from sitting. some days are better then others, and most the pain comes from sudden movements or wiping my ass after a big shit. i do my very best never to itch it but i know i do subconciously while i sleep. i think im going to try shaving my ass and doing the sleeping naked thing. its worth a shot. nothing in the world is worse then being in public and having a asscrackitis flare up and not being able to do anything about it. i must have done something really fucked up to deserve this. it's good to know theres more people praying for death atleast a few times a day.

CHAPPED ASS!!?

yeah Tre, chapped ass, and I would sure appreciate it if you use some chapstick the next time you kiss mine, ok?

He likes the mint-flavored gloss. He says "It's tingly on me bumbum."

yeah, the dog licks the cherry one off, makes the chapping and chafing even worse.

I can't help myself. He draws little bones.

I started with itching in the "butthole" and then it migrated up the entire crack (over 10 years now). I've seen anal-rectal surgeons (formerly called proctologists), a gastroenterologist, a regular MD, they all just say some people are like that, just keep it clean and dry. Problem is the more you try to clean, the more you irritate it (obviously I know not to wipe dry). I did get a pamphlet, among the things they recommend are: do not use soap on the area, use Prax lotion (available on the internet by Googling it) to clean and sooth, avoid things like coffee, cola, nuts, chocolate, when possible wear a thin cotton strip taken off a roll of absorbant cotton in the "crack" area ( I know that sounds ridiculous but it does help). Also Analpram HC is a prescription product.

I just started to have this problem within the last week. I was starting to freak out and think I had something or that I was dying. It was crazy to see the split in my butt crack. It freaked me out like you wouldn't believe and of course I got online put in my symptoms which are exactly those listed. Amazing what pain a chaffed, split butt crack can cause. However, after reading, I have realized that the moist wipes are not my friend. I started using them and I did recently change my soap which is a moisturizing soap. I should have just stuck with my Dial. I am going back to dial and no more wipes for me. But, I need to cure this and fast, I want to sit comfortably!
Please post what works, seems like everyone uses something a little different. Thank God however, I wasn't the only one feeling this pain.

Wow! I just got crackitis, never had it before, got it last week. I've been putting my grandson's desitin on it (he's 1) and that works great! I mean it didn't fix it immediately, it's been 4 days now, but the pain is tolerable and feels like the crack is healing nicely.. I have looked using a magnifying mirror and I can't see anything abnormal, just a red and sore looking ass crack...

Thank you one and all for making me feel normal.

I sit a lot on the job, and have been doing 50 minutes of cardio at the gym as part of my workout, so it must be a combination of the 2.. I'd suggest a shower before bed and before work and go get some desitin and use it on the asscrackitis...

Hey guys... I'm here to enlighten you all as to THE BEST cure for asscrackitis. The thing is, it's a common misconception that this horrible affliction is caused by infection/damp/over-wiping etc. However, the real reason (and also the reason many doctor's visits prove fruitless) is that asscrackitis is PSYCHOLOGICAL. Yes, believe it or not, your ass and your emotional well-being are very closely linked. Chances are, those suffering the worst are those with the biggest amount of stress in their lives and those who do not take the time to really pay attention to the needs of their asses. Try and be at one with your ass. Picture you and your ass taking scenic walks in the country, enjoying an icecream on a hot day and picking flowers together in a quiet meadow. Listen to your ass. Appreciate it. Spend time with it doing its favourite hobbies. Tell it that you value it and the many functions it provides and in time, you and your ass will enjoy an unbreakable bond and it will stop tormenting you with asscrackitis to get your attention, which can be a real pain in the ass.

Many of you may be afflicted with lactose intolerance, as I am. Shortly after eating food with milk or whey in it, I experience slight liquid diarrhaea. I can't feel it happen, but it wicks right up the crack and starts to burn the skin. If this is your situation, get some lactose pills over-the-counter at the pharmacy. Lots of people have this, especially as they get older. No need to be embarassed, so to speak.

Hi all

As I have already mentioned in another topic, my ass gets itchy more so when walking then it starts to burn and itch unbearably whilst I walk some more.

Someone said that it was athletes asscrack so is this the same as Asscrackitis??

It seems to get worse with moisture down there.

Also, how do you know when its a fungal infection?

My final question is, whatever it is i've got, is there a way to get rid of it permanently? I've noticed that some people in this thread have recurring symptoms that reappear after sweating etc.

For more reference on my problem here is my post in another topic:

Hi all
Recently I have been experiencing an itchy anus. It may be down to excessive wiping. When I am not moving a lot it is okay, but when i start walking it starts to itch and i can't walk properly. It gets so bad when walking that it goes from itching to soreness and then a really strong itching sensation. Also, after walking when i feel the skin it feels really sore and little moist from the soreness. I just want to be able to walk/run freely.
Anyway I have decided to increase the fibre in my diet as there was very little in my diet. Having increased the fibre, my wiping has decreased. I went to the doctor and got some cream (can't remember the name) and also have to send a sample to find out what the problem could be.
I would like some feedback of what people think this could be and what may help solve the problem.
I will post back to inform you of anything that has helped me with this problem.
Thanks

I too suffer from asscrackitis. I have the split above the hole, and it itches from the top of my crack to my taint (if it t'aint your butthole and it t'aint your balls, your taint is in the middle) it hurts to wipe, and when I itch it my fingers smell like ass. And thats even right after a shower. I gets worse when I scratch, but who has the power to resist the call of asscrackitis? She's an informidable opponent, but her call is akin to the Sirens "the seductresses".
