Warm bath soaks, a and d ointment, bulking foods, Metamucil, Imodium to slow output down, Licodaine numbing cream and lots of patience. Feel better.

I am 7 weeks post takedown. Is your burn only on the external skin or would you say it's on the inside?

Some folks swear by Calmoseptine, but it is too strong for others. I liked Ferguson Formula. Plain Zinc Oxide works fine, too.

I'm 4 months post-op and the butt burn has improved a lot over the last month or so. I found that my main issue was with the skin between my cheeks. Sometimes it felt like I had gravel stuck in there while walking. A prescription anti-fungal cream did the trick after a few days and I go back to that when it starts to flare up again. I also stopped using pre-moistened wipes and that helped. I think the chemicals were irritating. The occasional bouts of "lava poop" that I got the first couple months have also gone away pretty much unless I eat something spicy. Good luck...hang in there!

I had ordered "Dr Wheatgrass" for my daughter years ago. It can be ordered on Amazon.
The time right after her takedown she used Ilex, it's like a paste and she mixed it with gasoline.
Feel better!

Dawn, I am 6 months post take down and mine went away around 3 1/2 months. I found cleaning area (all the little wrinkles and crevices) real good with Vaseline helped, but using really soft TP or Target brand cosmetic pads essential. I also kept couple squares TP folded tucked in there or larger round cosmetic pads helped by catching any leakage instead of it sitting on skin. I like Calmoseptine though when the BB is super bad, the Calmoseprine hurts too much. It's purpose is to be in the skin so stool does not touch skin. Reapply after cleaning each time! I used Nystatin sometimes for anti fungal (itching due to moisture. Agree with bulking up bit and slowing output with Immodium. I also used Colestipol to reduce acid in output. Also heard witch hazel ointment helps but never tried it. Good luck! Hope it passes soon! Laurie
