What Causes Pain And Itching In The Buttocks?

I have had a very sore , itchy and burning sacral region of my buttock. I do a lot of sitting at work and thought it maybe because of that. For the past two weeks it has not gotten better no matter what I put on it. Today I noticed that in the crack of my buttock where the problem is , the skin has turned dark or black. Almost like a bruise. Is this a fungal infection ?
