  5. Hi, Ive been dealing with severe itching in the butt crack area. I live in Mumbai, so the humid weather makes me sweat a lot in that region. I also have thick body hair, which I think might be making it worse. Even a gentle rub causes a burning sensation because of the itching. What could be causing this, and how can I relieve it? Any tips for dealing with the sweat and irritation in such a humid environment?

I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole (brand name Canesten) twice a day in the affected area. Keep the area clean and dry, and wear loose cotton underwear to allow for better air circulation. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine like Cetirizine (brand name Zyrtec) to help with the itching. If the symptoms persist, consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
