Hello,
I am about 9 years out from my takedown. I have been having problems with broken skin around my anus, including bleeding. It's only the skin and the usual course of barrier creams is not working. I also self diagnosed and self treated for a yeast infection and it is much, much better. Can't seem to get a handle on the broken skin. Any suggestions would be amazing!! 
Thank you!

Others may have creams to suggest. I'd recommend a bidet (there are some very inexpensive ones) and perhaps sitz baths.
Hi,
If you have time, warm sitz baths are good. Perineal bottles and portable bidets are available on Amazon and Allegro Medical, among other sites. They are inexpensive. I think I bought a pkg. of 3 bottles so I would have enough water to spray the area thoroughly. These are quick/easy to use to keep the irritated area ultra clean, the gently pat dry with soft bathroom tissue. (If tissue alone is used, some irritating residue will most likely be left.)
Creams that worked when I used to get butt burn: 1. Miconazole yeast infection cream applied topically. Generic Target brand or whatever. Even though I was dealing with butt burn issues rather than a yeast infection, this cream worked for me. 2. Years ago my gyn noticed redness down there and prescribed Nystatin/Triamcinolone cream. It worked, but the Miconazole worked faster.

Hello, Less70.
I bought a sitz basin and squeeze bidet bottles from Amazon (one bottle for home, one for away from home). They worked so well I bought an attachment for the toilet. They saved me when I suffered burn or fissures. Try filling the sitz basin with water as warm as you can tolerate. Really warm water will soothe the area and bring blood circulation to that area to heal inside. My barrier cream was Zincofax, the one used by rash-y, shouting babies. I hope any these work for you.
