Very sore, weepy area in upper butt crack, prior to seeing doc should i treat with antifungal or antibiotic ointment? or both? scratched=worse now.

See your doctor: Sounds like it could be infected which would need antibiotics, but could also be secondary to a fungal infection, so seeing your doctor for a definitive diagnosis is best.
