Ok to use anti fungal creams on what I think might be an anal fungus infection?

This is rather embarrassing but I have had an itchy anus for a while now. I have been dabbing sudacream onto it with a cotton bud but it hasn't really helped. I have a feeling it might be a fungal infection although I haven't been to the doctors about it. I have some anti fungal cream and was just wondering if it would be ok to use, even though I am not 100% sure what the problem is. I just want to know basically if it will harm me if that isn't the problem. Thanks.

You dont really want to use an antifungla cream if you dont have a fungal infection. However if you are just applying the cream topically it should not have any systemic effects therefore you can try it. I would advise you to go see a doctor. Trust me doctors see these things all the time and you dont want to live with an itchy anus forever.

Better not to use that cream in that location.

You might try Desitin or other Baby cream they use for diaper rash. If this clears it up then you know it was only a rash or irritation and it is safe enough for a baby so you know it is safe enough for you. Also use some Gold Bond Body Powder on the irritation. This can help as it can be an irritation of the skin from chaffing or sweat.

If neither one shows improvement in a week, see a doctor. Dont try to put medications there that dont belong. It can make matters worse.

I really think that it is fine. this is a very common area for yeast/fungus to grow because it is warm and moist. if otc clotrimazole does not help, then see a doctor

You need to wash your butt man....you know soap and water not just 2 wipes. That's why you itch.
