A member asked:

I shaved in between my butt. after continuous standing and walking there is a large, red, irritated scrape/sore near my back hole. it started as what looked like a small linear scratch. no smells, or bumps. should i go get it checked?

An open sore near the anus is at high risk for infection. Get it looked at and treated without delay.

There is a chance of infection since you have a sore and continued wiping that area can only cause more irritation. See a PROCTOLIGIST or your internist for evaluation.
