A member asked:
I have a really bad itch right at the top of my bum, which is affecting the sensitive area and it's getting worse.

Pilonidal cyst?: There may be a variety of reasons for the itching including a pilonidal cyst. Traditionally if there is no yeast or bacterial or viral infection, topical steroids are the first treatment. If this does not respond, you may want to see your primary care physician or dermatologist.
