Question : I'm having issues with the upper 3 inches of my butt crack itching and bleeding a tiny bit. I can't seem to figure out how to clear it up. No bumps or anything like that.

As the diagnosis of skin condition depends on good clinical examination providing clinical photograph will be helpful. I kindly request you to send us clinical photograph for further assessment.
