Question 1

itchy butt crack . its white & itchy and i have to small red itchy bumps or patches right above my butthole ??what could it be and now my toe is itching really bad?

Accepted Answer

: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. What you described suggest fungal infection. You may try an over the counter antifungal cream, consult your pharmacist at the drugstore. If that does not resolve the issue in a week or so it would be prudent to see a doctor. 
Wish you good health!

Question 2

i have an itchy rash on my butt crack. its red and a little bumpy. it can get sore and tender. what could this be ? how can i help sooth the pain?

Accepted Answer

Rash: Couple things come to mind based on location: warm, dark, moist area is perfect spot for fungus to take up residence. Other possibility is shingles (reactivation of the chickenpox virus). See your fp to examine rash to determine what it is & to provide appropriate treatment.

Question 3

what can cause a red itchy rash that only appears between the top portion between the butt cheeks (butt crack) looks like diaper rash on a an adult. ?

Accepted Answer

Many possibilities: Including recurring fungal infection and mechanical irritation. Due to location it is a highly exposed area due to mechanical irritation in the presence of sweat. Losing weight, if applicable, wearing cotton loose undergarments, keeping the area dry might help in all aspects.

Question 4

i have an itchy bump in between my butt crack no its not red?

Accepted Answer

Ingrown hair: You likely have an ingrown hair. Try warm moist compresses.

Question 5

i have this itchy red pus looking bump on my lower back above butt crack.. it's not painful just very itchy, most part of the day it wasn't itchy. ?

Accepted Answer

Be checked: It is difficult to know if this is a reaction to a substance or infection. Reactions are itchy but pus indicates infection. The treatment for each is different. Be seen. In the meantime keep the area well irrigated and clean. All the best.

Question 6

what to do? ive little cluster of red bumps at the top of my butt crack. they started out flat n itchy then went hard n came out smaller n sore.

Accepted Answer

Gluteal bumps: May be eczema that may be getting  infected because of itching or may be fungal infection. You may consider bacitracin in AM with an anti-fungal like over the counter clotrimazole in the PM for 7 days and see if it works, if not try over the counter hydrocortisone for eczema.  Discuss with doctor/urgent care

Question 7

recurring 3-8 months itchy bump butt crack/tailbone when wipe to keep dry painful,use hydrocortisone/lotrimin 2-4 week gone but returns what could be?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: Your cream contains both a cortisone (which nonspecifically suppresses inflammation even from an infection) and an anti-fungal. Thus it is hard to tell as to which ingredient had worked for you. If this problem keeps on returning, it'd be wise to ask your doctor to check this out for you.

Question 8

i have had a rash in my groin, privates, and butt crack for about a month now that is itchy, red raised bumps in clusters, and when wiped there is yellowish stuff that comes off. i went to my gp and she said yeast infection pointing to the round of c?

Accepted Answer

Genital yeast: I don't understand what the big mystery is. Your description is consistent with a yeast/fungal infection. Why are you doubting your doctor's diagnosis? "What should I do?"  Follow her advice.

Question 9

i have an itch on my butt, but its a ring like lump, obviously my first instinct is ring work, but there is multiple other itchy bumps on my butt.. ?

Accepted Answer

Fungus: It sounds like you may have a yeast (fungal) infection. Try some other the counter yeast treatments like Lamisil. If it does not go away or if it becomes painful then see a doctor for an evaluation.

Question 10

i have red raised itchy bumps on my butt. what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Maybe folliculitis: It sounds like you have folliculitis an infection and inflammation in the hair follicles. See your dermatologist for treatment but in the interim you can try a benzoyl peroxide wash.
