Sore Near Butt Crack, Round, Red Circle. Using Hydrogen Peroxide. Permanent Cure?

I have a sore slightly to the right of my butt crack that is extremely painful. It is a round raised circle and is burning with pain all the time. What is this? I have been cleaning it with hydrogen peroxide and applying neosporin and covering with a bandaid. This gives some relief, but it is short-lived. Is there anything else I can do?
