  5. Ive been dealing with severe itching around my tailbone and the upper buttock creases for the past 10 days. I tried using Calamine lotion, which provided some relief but didnt help much. Could this be a fungal infection? If so, is it okay to use an antifungal cream like Livafin?

Itching in the tailbone and upper buttock crevices can indeed be a sign of a fungal infection, especially if it has not improved with calamine lotion. You can try using an antifungal cream like Livafin (Terbinafine) twice a day for about 2 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting clothing to help with the healing process.
