Hey J, sounds odd. I've possibly developed a rash from my Diltiazem. I've swapped from the original one my CRS gave me pre-op and close to running out so went o the doctors and they gave me another one - but this one needs to be kept in the fridge.
Been using it for a couple weeks now, no issues until my time of the month last week so could be a combination of that being irritated. .
Could be the dilt, check the date on there, might be the temperature too?
I put it on at 6am and then before bed, so I tend to har wiped most of it away after my first BM and also after I wake up.

I don't want to scare you, But hay I could be wrong, so please don't take my suggestion or idea of what I mite think it is the wrong way,
Like Welsh said, It could be your ointment..check that out too.
OK here goes, white ,dried up, could it be an infection or past healed infection, a form of mucus dried up, from a leak..ummm, did you notice prior to this, any headaches, mild fever, hot and cold,diarrhea.
Any way if your not in any sever pain that's great, please check with your doctor, Call him or her and set up an appointment.
Keep an eye on your butt, to see if it comes back (that sounded kinda funny,..Image

Hmmm good point PGA -
JHH you mentioned last week about not feeling well and it being a lack of salt and intake of water - maybe it's something to do with those symptoms? Just a thought, see how you are tomorrow and if the same thing concerns you again, maybe a quick check with a doctor would be the best thing.

Ps PGA - glad you're feeling better. X

By golly I think you got it Welsh..Why I say that is ,,way back when I was hospitalized,, throat issues, any how,..umm, I just remembered this, I had this white crusty , what ever on my undies, The nurse explained to me it had to do with lack of potassium, from mucus in lining, when your body is out of wack, they replenished it with more potassium...now I could be wrong...Please don't let it worry you..still have it checked out.
Thank's Welsh baby..You sit on those frozen pea's until your butt is numb.he he. Or when the itch goes away, which ever comes first.

Hi J,
Yes I would get it checked out. It may just be the cream, if you are using a lot of it, it may just be residue. Hope you get it sorted buddy. Try not to worry too much, it is probably something simple. Keep fighting the sucker!

Thanks for all your support and help my dear AF friends :)
Good suggestions, and food for thought!
Today when I woke I checked my underwear and ass and everything was fine. Then I went for a painfree bristol 5-6 BM, and only had minor irritation today. I have an appointment in a week, and will discus it there unless it gets worse. I'll keep you guys updated!

Day 59
Painless bristol 5. Felt some pressure and tightness today. I would almost call it "sore". Maybe botox is wearing off...

I still get that pressure feeling, you're only 2 months into Botox, it has to last longer than that surely?
16weeks to heal apparently, you're over halfway there. Keep up the hard work and it'll all pay off!
