I've been dealing with this annoying itch on my right butt cheek. It's kind of embarrassing to see a doctor in person about it. Could you suggest an ointment or gel that might help me get rid of it?

I recommend using hydrocortisone cream 1% for the itching on your right butt cheek. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area twice a day for up to 7 days. Make sure to wash your hands before and after applying the cream.
