It could be that the bms and wiping and pushing during a bm, etc could exacerbate inflammation of the anus.

You could possibly have a mild yeast infection....try using something like Canesten cream.

Or try a baby diaper cream with zinc in it...sometimes there's a mild antifungal in it.

Some here use A&D cream and another suggestion has been calmoseptine.

Definitely use something.

Oh, and to wash your anus, a mild washing product is Cetaphil.
Some soaps will definitely exacerbate an inflamed area.

Baby wipes :o )

It's most likely caused by enzymes in loose stool. Try calmoseptine, it rocks! It's usually located behind the pharmacist's counter or is available where ostomy supplies are sold. It's also available through Amazon.
