Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My anal area is always moist. What could be the reason? I am 26 years old, female.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

This could be because of overactive sweat glands, oily skin with or without chronic low-grade infection. After bathing let the area dry completely, use pure cotton undergarments and use Myoderm-C (Beclometasone, Neomycin and Clotrimazole) dusting powder over your anal area as well as sprinkle some on the panty. I hope your bowels are fine and you are not constipated. If that is not the case, you need to be treated for the same. Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
