I have a crack in my buttocks that keeps coming back, what can I do?

Question

Hello, For a few months now, I have had a recurrent crack on the top of my buttocks. I specify that my hygiene is irreproachable and I did not change my shower gel. I don't understand..... As soon as it heals, the crack reopens after a few days... I don't even know which professional to turn to, because it's a bit embarrassing. Thank you for your help. Hello, i have been taking antidepressants for a few months.. i have neither diarrhea nor constipation... I specify that the fissure is located at the top of the buttocks, not towards the anus thank you in advance

Hello ma'am, sorry to read about your troubles! In order to better understand your needs, would it be possible to obtain the following information: Are you taking any other medications? Have you tried anything for this? Do you have any other symptoms such as constipation or diarrhea? Thank you Thanks for the feedback! A fissure can occur as a result of irritation, either from scratching or repeated rubbing For now, I strongly suggest the use of unscented wet wipes for hygiene after bowel movements, just as a precaution. If possible, I also suggest applying a thin layer of moisturizer such as Vaseline afterwards, as well-moisturized and protected skin can heal better. I hope I've been helpful, don't hesitate if there's anything you need Tom Samaha, pharmacist
