A member asked:

Butt itches bad. could be dry skin. on which parts of the butt area is hydrocortisone not recommended?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hard to say: The most delicate skin on the buttocks would be the area around the anus. Hydrocortisone would need to be used carefully there. However, some causes of itching in that area would not respond to hydrocortisone. Pin worms for one, yeast or fungal infection for another, and a bacterial infection also wouldn't do well with hydrocortisone.
