Reply to "Do you all use skin barrier creams for butt burn???"

I was of the understanding that the butt burns caused after takedown, when the pH of the stool fluctuates before adjusting (at least in most patients), is due to the stool being too alkaline rather than too acidic. In other words, the pH is greater than 7. Although once butt burn starts due to alkaline stools, eating acidic foods (like vinegar) is certainly unlikely to help matters.
