Fucking Gross

Fat person problem number 327 - I think I have a yeast infection in my ass crack.  Like, the very top inch or so.  The plumber's crack area.  It's really red and itchy, and when I was washing my crack in the shower that area stung a lot.  I've got some Monistat smeared in there right now.
This isn't technically a fat person problem, I was looking it up online and apparently it can happen to anyone, but my hot, sweaty nature is exacerbated by my weight and certain parts touching and rubbing and sweating against other parts.

Last summer I had these nasty red bumps in the insides of my thighs from my thighs sweating and rubbing together.  They went away in the winter, but now they're coming back.  I've got them starting under my armpits too.

Being fat makes showers very tedious, as I have to really get into certain parts, like my ass crack and under my tits and belly, because they're always sweating and never feel clean. I've rubbed my belly button raw before, trying to get it clean.
If you could see me in the shower, you'd all laugh your asses off.  My back rolls make it hard to reach around (also my back is generally stiff and doesn't move well), so I have to kind of squat down and go at it from underneath.  I can appreciate the comedy in that.

  1. It sounds like you're probably getting heat rashes. I usually get those from wearing skirts; my thighs will brush together a lot when I sweat and that's when they happen. They do look like little red bumps. Mine have always gone away pretty quickly, but some general rash ointment stuff should help.
