Traditional Chinese medicine treatment for sitting board sores
Regularly taking sitz baths, using mild soap or medicated soap for cleaning, can reduce the frequency of occurrence or recurrence and alleviate pain and shorten the course of the disease.
The buttocks tend to sweat a lot, and in a warm and humid environment, wearing tight clothes can easily cause fungal infections and lead to tinea cruris.
Patients with tinea cruris should pay attention to cleaning and drying after bowel movements, and clothing should be sun-dried or machine dried. External application of antifungal drugs can quickly cure the condition.
In addition, sitz baths are also important for preventing hemorrhoids. Take a sitz bath or clean the perianal area every day, and do pelvic floor exercises, and hemorrhoids will stay away from you forever.
