Basics : These are often caused by more than one agent. The moist material in the poop includes bacteria and yeast. Over time any irritation at the anus allows the yeast to begin invading the skin. Yeast + bacteria+moisture breakdown the tissue. Simple soap/water cleansing with air drying help. A hair dryer on no heat can speed the drying. Avoid commercial wipes. Fungus cream may be needed.
