CURE FOR CHAPPED, INFLAMED AND SPLITTING BUTTOCK CREASE:

You have a long-standing fungal infection compounded by bacteria that have propagated in the diseased area.

DO THIS MORNING AND AT NIGHT:

SHOWER and thoroughly cleanse buttock crease. Use an antifungal soap such as "Medicated Fungi Cure" Alva Pharmacal. Available at the drug store.

DRY the buttock crease thoroughly and blow dry with a hair dryer on COOL setting. DO NOT use hot air as it will damage the skin.

SPRAY the buttock crease with LOTRIMIN antifungal spray powder.

APPLY an anti-bacterial ointment such as NEOSPORIN or drug store brand directly to the open, chapped area.

You WILL notice great improvement after about 2-3 days. However, KEEP DOING THIS REGIMEN FOR TWO WEEKS OR ELSE THE INFECTION WILL COME BACK.

Later, have your blood sugar tested to make sure you are not diabetic. Diabetics have an especially high frequency of infections.

At the first signs of infection later, treat right away and the infecion will be gone.

DON'T FEEL ASHAMED OR EMBARRASSED about this condition. Opportunistic infections happen to almost everyone at one time or another. YOU are in control. Give it hell with the above instructions. It simply can't withstand the kind of ASSault you are about to inflict upon it!

Good luck.

Thanks for the information AC, you should register and become a Poop Reporter. Most of our readers are hardened adults and you could, if you so desired, just call it an ass crack rather than a buttock crease:))

You gave very good advice when you said it would be a good idea to have your blood sugar level checked. I would go a step further and tell everyone if you have diabetics in your family or if you are at risk for type two diabetes for any other reason you should test your blood glucose level yourself periodically.
Wall-Mart sells a blood glucose meter for only $9.00 and strips for it are only $9.00 for twenty strips. Checking your glucose level twice a week is very inexpensive. A normal reading should be between 80 and 120. If levels started exceeding that a doctor should be consulted or major changes in diet should be made. The brand name of the meter and strips is ReliOn.

I posted earlier on 7/21/09. You can read that earlier post for my symptoms, their the same as yours....except I never had "the split" that some have mentioned. I have been to doctors about these symptoms and all three times they have said, nope you are not going to die and that this is most probably caused by individual body chemistries and sweaty and wet conditions down there. I suffered with this for over two years, and now I finally seem to have gotten it under control. First let me say that I tried ALL the hemhroid creams and baby butt creams and anti fungal creams and sprays and yeast infection creams. Nothing worked for me. The last time I saw my doctor he told me to keep my crack clean and dry. He told me to use wet baby wipes to thoroughly clean up after a poo. So here is my routine that FINALLY seems to have cured me after over 2 years of HELL.

Just remember clean and dry......clean and dry.
1. Shower in the morning.....dry it out and apply baby powder in the crack....I use J&J cornstarch baby powder.
2. During the day when I poop, I will wipe with regular toilet paper and then chase it with a wet baby wipe to finish up the clean job and get all the excess poo out there ( trust me, you miss a little...works like a champ) and then reapply baby powder to the crack (keeps it dry all day) Do this after every poop or if you haven't pooped during the day, you can baby wipe it and powder it just to keep it clean and dry.
3. Shower before bed (or just baby wipe the region) and either baby powder it or you can even use a couple of squares of TP rolled up into a butt crack tampon to keep you dry all night.
4. Occasionally you can apply some desitin or other baby butt cream to provide a little cream down there if you think you are overdrying it.
5. When I excersize (run or bike) I will apply a good amount of "Aquaphor" to the region - a baby butt product you can find in the baby product aisle. And seems to ward off the sweaty conditions that used to cause asscrackitis flare ups after working out. helps with chaffing as well.

Repeat this routine daily and hopefully you will have the same great results I did. I finally feel normal again after over two years

After several years of frustration, two weeks of Elidel cream, available by prescription, HEALED my asscrackitis.

After that, routine cleansing with 1% Nizoral shampoo and application of Zeasorb AF keeps things fixed.

Avoid hydrocortisone and other steroids unless you must use them...steroids thin the skin and will make things worse over time.

If your butt itches after eating spicy food, Aspirin is a much bigger help than you would suspect.

I've suffered with this all my life (I'm 62). In my youth it went away with some cremes from the medicine cabinet. In my teens I went to the dr. and was given a cortisone creme 1%. A few years ago the rash started and a fungus infection developed and a dermatologist gave me an antifungal creme and cortisone 2%. I'm currently going through a tough episode (4 months) accompanied with fungus. I had some creme and that killed the fungus but I still have the pain and itching and the 2% creme isn't helping. I'm trying something new. When I'm home I'm putting a white sock turned inside out tucked in my crack. I'm hoping this wicks away the moisture. Last night it worked great--slept all night; today as I watch TV I have one inserted. I think some of us have fat cheeks that press together not allowing normal drying of the skin--we have a lot of crack moisture. It's the pits.

Butt pits???

...And their flesh like dung. Zeph. 1:17

The guy with the Apple and the rubbing alcohol is right.60 seconds of agony.A ring of fire but then absolute peace for 12 hours or more if you'r lucky. If you think you cant go through with it have a jug of ice cubes to hand.

I feel everyones pain... I too have these problems, and I went to the doctor and he tried to tell me I had herpes without even doing a test. It looks nothing like herpes! My ass is chapped from my butt getting infected from getting torn and the infection chapped the entire area between my butt cheeks, but now I am on antibiotics for the infection so hopefully the chafing goes away soon. :-)

I am so happy I discovered this page. Asscrackitis is real and I have been suffering for 3 days now. It is literaly a real pain in the ass to function like a normal person. Not only does it make it difficult and uncomfortable to move my bowels...it is hard to clean this area without feeling sharp needle like pains in the crack. So I am now trying Aveenos cream with 1% Hydrocotisine and will sleep naked and only wear cotton underwear. Hopefully this will cure my ass.

Raspex Skin Gel is nice. Also try Argentyn 23 First Aid Gel.
