Reply to "Pain clinic"

This may be overly simplistic, but after having so many skin problems, I saw a dermatologist who really helped me figure out my skin issues, as I was always raw down there.  It was truly awful, painful.

In addition to the acidity of my output having bad effects on my skin around my anus, I found out that I was allergic to a ton of stuff which was making it worse (things like tomatoes!).  I assume that the allergy thing isn't the norm for most people (although I was shocked at my outcome).  

A very simple suggestion the doc had for me was very helpful.  I put vaseline around my rectum before and after each bowel movement.  It serves as a barrier and doesn't have any long term effects (some barriers that I've purchased seem to have magical properties initially but with using it so frequently, it caused my skin to break down, which made everything 1000% worse - which I didn't think was even possible).

Not sure if the vaseline will help you but it is something to consider.

Good luck!
