PIX pls identify this rash on my bottom?

[FannyBawz]

Hi, I’ve just realised I’ve got quite a widespread rash on my left and right buttocks!

not raised.

Only mildly itchy and it’s been there a while I think and I’ve been absentmindedly scratching me nethers now and again….. for
months!

I have psoriasis but it’s definitely not that

i don’t eat any wheat or sugar because of the above so unlikely to be dietary.

Any ideas?

Heat rash?

Do you cycle/horse ride OP?

Folliculitis ? You would need an antibiotic ointment to clear it up.

I get something like this on my bum every summer, I think mine’s a heat rash

Mine was an allergy to the stuff used to clean the toilet seat

I was very lucky and managed to get a GP appointment 💪

apparently it’s a fungal infection. It’s also:
in my belly button
around my anus
what I thought was psoriasis on my back is….. yeast

i can’t believe it everywhere

does anybody know if anti fungal body washes to decolonise myself sharpish?

Do I need to boil my clothes?
(serious question )

You need to use ketoconazole shampoo, I was told to lather it on, leave for a few mins and then rinse off

What treatment have you been given?

Reduce carbs in your diet temporarily, as what yeast thrives on.

Look up dermatitis herpetiformis (DH). It's an autoimmune skin condition often misdiagnosed as a fungal infection.

It goes hand in hand with coeliac disease.

Have you ever been tested for coeliac disease?

Even if you have cut out wheat it could still be a DH reaction to other gluten such as barley and rye.

Topical stuff that also has steroids. I am leaving to collect them.

I will ask the pharmacist for that shampoo, thanks.

I don’t even consume sugars or carbs so it feels kind of cruel I’ve ended up with a yeast infection 🙄
