QuothTheAnus:NeverMo: I read about that in a short story by Edgar Allen Poe ("The Tell-Tale Fart") Rather disturbing and annoying, wouldn't you agree? First,make sure that area is meticulously clean.Wash after every poo. Use an antibacterial ointment for a while, plus an anti-fungal (both can be purchased over-the-counter/OTC).If none of that works and a trial of1% OTC Hydrocortisone cream fails,then you'll need a doc
