Hello,
Thanks for posting your query at DoctorSpring.com. I can understand your concern.
You have got severe inflammation in the anal area , most likely due to the loose motions as the acidic nature of the stools has caused the inflammation.
I would recommend that you apply a combination of hydrocortisone cream, clotrimazole cream and fucidin cream on the area twice daily. The treatment will resolve the inflammation.
Hope this helps, Please let me know if you have any queries.
Take care

I have treated it with those creams for some time! You should note that the inflammation was present PRIOR to the onset of diarrhea. Inflammation has been present for 5 MONTHS, diarrhea, only one! Please advise. What is this inflammation? Is there a better course of treatment? Also, I am SUPER clean when it comes to that area... so I do not leave any stool that could cause infection behind.
Hello,
Thanks for your reply.
It's the over cleaning also which can give rise to dryness n resultant eczema that is present over there. Avoid rubbing the area too hard. Also if you have already used these creams and have got no relief, I would recommend that you get a prescription from your doctor for a higher strength steroid cream like mometasone. It's to be mixed and applied with clotrimazole and fucidin cream. That will help with your concern.
Hope this helps, please feel free to discuss further.
Take care
