Why does diarrhea burn my butt?

The pH: Frequently diarrhea leads to malabsorption of bile which is quite alkaline and can cause a burning sensation.

Couple things...: It could be a few different things, from increased moisture causing irritation, increased wiping which could also irritate the area, or it could be from the change in ph of your bowel movements that irritates the skin.
