Anal rash from overstretching?

Hi all,

new to the forum.

I have been in to anal play and stretching since I was a teenager (I'm 38 now) and I have always loved the feeling of being filled up but also enjoyed the feeling from being stretched to the limit. I do realize after reading on this forum that I have not always been as careful with warming up as I should have been.

Anyhow, about a year ago a noticed a rash/irritation around my anus that wouldn't go way and that slowly became worse. At first I thought it was irritation from the soap but no luck when just trying saltwater and soap for sensitive skin etc. Embarrassed I went to my GP and after a quick look he concluded that the rash was from anal leakage and prescribed me a cream called Elocon that contained corticosteroid, I applied it and after a week the rash was gone. All good, but after a month or so it came back and again and I used the cream again with success. I have been doing this for about a year now but it keeps coming back. I think I can delay the symptoms by using oily soaps and I even use baby oil after every wash to keep the skin protected. Have I overstretched the sphincter? Has anyone experienced anything similar? Am I able to exercise the muscle to get it tight again?

I have barely touched my ass in the last year and I really miss the anal play, especially after reading on this forum 😃

Any help is appreciated

Maybe you did overstretch but in a year you should be fine. Doing kegels does get you tight again. I would say you are getting a reaction to some food, maybe spicy hot or something similar. You should write down what you eat and how is you rash, every day. In time you will spot a connection (e.g. 2 days after eating apples you get a rash). I would also suggest to wash up your bottom after defecating instead of just wiping.

Take notes of what you eat and find out what bothers you! Hope this helps.

Thanks Afternine!

Yea I have some suspicion it could be dairy and also spicy food that causes it. Strange though it appears at the age of 37.

I do always wash myself after going to the bathroom, initially I thought that was the problem since I sometimes used hand soap.

Something else to try on a daily basis is to rub a light coating of Vaseline on your rectum a few times a day. This will keep any anal leakage off of direct contact with your skin. Another thing to try is to use baby butt cream. It will also protect your area. Desitin for example is one of those choices. I"m sure it comes in a generic form which will be a bit cheaper but work as well. Hope these help you out a bit or give you other ideas.

Another option is A & D ointment. I use it once in awhile if I failed to clean up completely.

I also used it last winter when prepping for a colonoscopy. It completely prevented irritation from the clean out process.

I agree with the advice so far. This sounds like it could be due to over-stretching, but it could also have a number of causes unrelated to stretching.

What I can tell you about stretching is that as long as you have done it fairly safely, the effects are not long term. It is the same as any other type of stretching. You can hurt yourself if you try to suddenly do a split, for example, but if you gradually work on your flexibility then you will eventually be able to do a split with no issues. However, if you then cease stretching for a prolonged amount of time, you will lose that flexibility and no longer be able to do a split unless you train for it again. In any event, even the most flexible people hurt themselves if they try to do a split at a moment's notice, without prior stretching to warm up.

As for kegels, everyone should perform kegels as well as reverse kegels on a regular basis. For those engaged in anal and/or vaginal stretching activities, kegels and reverse kegels especially help with flexibility. As with any muscle training, the goal is not tightness/stiffness, but strength, tone and flexibility.

I think it might be an allergic reaction to the toys material,pvc,rubber,or jelly.I have a huge collection I'm going to trash because of it.I only buy silicon toys now,expensive but worth it.
