I'm dealing with some pretty uncomfortable redness around my buttock area, and it's been causing quite a bit of itching and pain, especially when I sit down or if there's any rubbing. I've been using this candidb cream for about 20 days, but it doesn't seem to be doing the trick. What else can I do to get some relief or maybe even get rid of this issue? Any advice would really help.

It sounds like you may be dealing with a fungal infection in the buttock area. Since Candid-B cream has not been effective, I recommend trying a combination antifungal and steroid cream such as Lotriderm cream. Apply a thin layer of Lotriderm cream to the affected area twice a day for 2 weeks. Additionally, keep the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting clothing, and avoid tight underwear to help with the healing process.
