Hey guys, I have suffered from Eczema all my life especially in my youth. About a year ago I got it really bad in a very uncomfortable area: around my anus. Over the last year almost all of it has healed.. but there is one tiny area that remains and still causes issues. if I sweat too much or shower regularly it remains irritated, and if the skin in the area gets stretched somehow it can lead to infections and hemorrhoids. I am starting to think i may have a fissure/tear in my anus in this one little spot that is causing the issue. unfortunately I do not have health insurance and I suspect a proctologist would be very expensive. Is there anything you guys can recommend? maybe a cream, medication or care tips to help this heal on its own? It really affects my quality of life and I will be eternally grateful when it is gone. Thank you for any help!
