39 y/o female with inflamed, itchy, peeling skin around anus for weeks. last night had a bloody bowel movement (fair amount of blood, toilet bowl bright red). sti tests all clear, not been sexually active at all for years. what could this be?

Accepted Answer

See Dr: Probably local irritation and/ or hemorrhoids. Need professional evaluation because of other possible causes. Meanwhile use skin lotion on bathroom paper to clean anal skin. Do this after any bowel movement. Do this whenever the area feels wet. Do this whenever the area feels itchy or irritated. Clean around + inside anus with the lotion on soft bathroom paper.

Question 2

raw, sometimes peeling skin between my butt cheeks and near my vulva for months years. i also have growth on anus that will not go away and often bleeds. how make this go away, which specialist to see?

Accepted Answer

Dermatitis: You may have a variant of chronic perianal dermatitis that is mostly an irritated area due to contact with irritants, sweating, friction, excessive heat and moisture(similar to diaper rash). Under wear and clothing may be factors. The lump that bleeds may be a hemorrhoid. I recommend that you see a proctologist who can diagnose and treat you best.

Question 3

i had sexual intercourse yesterday and today my vagina has been itchy, burning, red, and i have skin peeling even near my anus what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

A trip to GYN MD: It means that there is some type of injury or infection that a GYN MD visit can evaluate and treat.

Question 4

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Go see gyn: see your GYN for an evaluation to determine if you have an infection that needs treatment

Question 7

what's a good way to cure dry peeling skin?

Accepted Answer

Happy Skin: Skin is the major protection of our delicate internal tissues from a harsh environment, it is susceptible to injury itself. Sun, shaving and many chemicals  are very irritating as well as constant exposure to moisture reduces protective skin oils and sets the skin up for injury.  The trick is to  apply good protective skin cream frequently and minimize ongoing damage.  Clean it using gentle means.

Question 8

what is it when you have horrible dry peeling skin on your uppee thigh close up to the v area?

Accepted Answer

See a dermatologist: You need to have this looked at by a specialist and have it diagnosed accurately. Good luck.

Question 9

what causes rough, dry, thick, peeling skin on the heels? best ways to treat/prevent and make the skin soft again?

Accepted Answer

Heel treatment: Soak your feet in warm water for about 10 minutes three evenings a week, then use a callus file to remove some of the dry skin. Pat dry, then rub in a thick moisturizer cream (like Eucerin Advanced Repair Creme or similar) and wear cotton socks to hold the cream in place while you sleep. Make sure that your shoes fit well and avoid walking barefoot. See a podiatrist if your symptoms continue.

Question 10

dry peeling skin on differin (adapalene) is this a good sign?

Accepted Answer

Yes: This is exactly what one should expect from a topical retinoid (differin (adapalene) is a retinoid). In the early studies on this class of medicine the researchers felt that if a patient is not getting red and peeling then the strength of the retinoid is not high enough. This side effect can often resolve or can be alleviated with a simple noncomedogenic moisturizer. Good question.
