Skin rash: need to see a picture of the lesion. Could presume its dry skin vs eczematous dermatitis vs contact dermatitis. hydrocortisone cream and moisturizing cream may help.

Not Very Apeeling: Ever heard of walking on eggshells?Well,it sounds like you've been sitting on them! It's difficult to help you without more information,even a photo.But it may be possible that you've been scratching that area in your sleep.In any case you want to avoid any infection developing(increased redness and pain).So you should see a doctor to help you figure this out. As they say: Picture Worth 1000 Words
