Question 3

Lump in buttocks under skin near top of butt crack. no pain, moves, can't see only feel. should i worry?

Usually this is a lipoma (benign fatty deposit). Ask your internist to look at it. Do not just ignore, but probably nothing to worry about.

Question 4

I've been having a skin problem in my buttocks region.  i noticed when the top was itchy (inside crack).  i looked and it was red/open. seem to spread

Accepted Answer

Sounds like you might have a yeast infection (aka "Jock itch") in your buttocks area

Try keeping the area dry, and try an over the counter cream such as lotrimin cream (clotrimazole)

If it doesn't help in a few days, you should have a doctor take a look at it

...but since we don't have access to a picture of your lesion(s), we can only advise that you get examined locally ASAP to be sure.

Question 6

Slight darkening of skin around my buttocks crack. not really itchy, but i dont know where it came from. i am a type 1 diabetic who has been diagnose?

Accepted Answer

or other color differences between the buttocks and around the genitals can be normal and changes can occur with age. If this is a recent change, and because you are concerned, have it evaluated by your MD.  Chances are good that it is nothing of major concern but being diabetic means you need to be diligent in watching  for any changes!

Question 7

How to treat herpes in the crack of buttocks?

Accepted Answer

Same way you would treat it anywhere else.  You can be treated with an oral version of acyclovir, but unless begun very early in the outbreak it will not change much. This should resolve by itself in 7-10 days. Do not use topical acyclovir.

Question 8

I have bronchitis while i was coughing today and got a sharp pain in the crack of my buttocks. should i bee worried?. p.s. i 23 years of age.

Accepted Answer

Don't be worried. While it is not particularly common at your age, coughing can be associated with enough pressure on the disks in your back (between the vertebra) to dislodge some of the gel in there, and this could cause a sharp pain sensation in the buttocks. I would only be concerned if it lasted more than 6 weeks.

Question 9

I have been having a feeling of wetness dripping from top of buttocks at the crack down into the crack but its not wet. what could this be?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor for an evaluation. May refer you to a neurologist to check your nerve function.

Question 10

I have a splitting pain in the upper crack of my buttocks. visually nothing appears to be wrong in the area but the pain is severe. what is this?

Accepted Answer

It could due to an accident or some trauma. The coccyx is in that area and might have been injured. It is not clear if that has occurred from the information provided. If it persists or has been long-standing, it should be evaluated.
