It is normal: to have a bit of burning while having voluminous diarrhea. Topical anusol cream found at any local drug store may afford you some relief.

Sometimes it can feel like burning and can be caused by the irritation of diarrhea. Curing the diarrhea is the real treatment, but in the mean time, keeping the are dry and using steroid creams can help. See Doctor if persists. Best wishes.

Adjust: diet (stay away from spicy foods or anything that may cause diarrhea). If diarrhea persists, you may try and OTC anti-diarrheal. If your symptoms persist for over a week see you doctor in the office for further evaluation. Best of luck!
