Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

The history and symptoms suggests me that you may be having fungal infection which should be confirmed by physical examination.

As you have mentioned in your history that you sweat a lot and there is a itching in the butt area. This area is known for fungal infection as the fungus can sustain and multiply in the sweaty area and produce symptoms.

For your symptoms I would suggest you to follow
1.Keep the area dry and clean
2.Topical anti fungal cream should applied over the affected area.
3.Oral antihistamine to prevent itching.
4.A single dose of Diflucan, 150 mg.
Thank you.
