It is usually due to the caustic content of frequent, loose stools. You may want to clean with plain water instead of dry TP too. That can add insult to injury, plus it can leave stuff behind tat keeps the irritation going. When I get raw (rarely now), I mix an antifungal, an antibacterial, HC ointment, and a barrier, and use it after every single BM. Usually it clears up in a few days.
