I've been dealing with some intense itching in my buttcrack for the last few days, and it's becoming pretty uncomfortable. It feels like I've scratched so much that there's almost a crack forming because of it. This has happened to me before, and I've found that using oil helps to soothe the itch. It's working a bit this time too, but the relief isn't lasting because if I scratch again, it just comes back. Any idea why this keeps happening and what else I can try to get rid of it?

You may be experiencing a case of fungal infection such as jock itch. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, wearing loose cotton underwear, and avoiding tight clothing can help prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.
