Last winter it was really dry and cold and my ass cheeks started itching. I, of course, scratched them. I apparently scratched too hard as I developed welts on both ass cheeks. The welts itch and I can’t stop scratching because I have no self control apparently.

I use lotion multiple times a day, I’ve used benadryl itch cream. Nothing seems to work. The itch is greatest after my workout and when I get in the shower. I thought maybe it was water temperature related, but I’ve gone from hot to cold and still itch like crazy.

I apparently need a cone of shame for my ass.

Anyone faced this before?

    Ok are you sure it’s just dry skin? I once had MRSA and it spread to my ass cheeks, itched like crazy and the welts were huge.

    Another thing could be allergies to something. I was taking Ozempic to help control diabetes and it did dry out my skin and my legs and ass were always itching.

    It also it turned a patch of my skin on my head grey that would constantly flake along with my eyebrows
