What Causes Irritation At The Top Of My Intergluteal Cleft?

Embarressed to ask.. But I have an irritation at the top of my butt crack. It s like the skin seperates and burns. It itches and burns now. It has always happened on occasion and I thought it was from loose skin. But lately, it has not gone away. Very irritating.

Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
It is a type of eczema (reaction of skin), called as intertrigo. Sometimes it might be superadded with yeast infection. Excessive sweating and diabetes mallitus may aggravate this condition. Consult a Dermatologist and get well soon. It is not difficult to cure.
