Hi,

This rash sounds uncomfortable. Without seeing the rash, it is quite hard to diagnose. If the rash is between your buttocks (in the crack), it may be intertrigo or yeast. If the rash is on the cheek of the buttock, it may be dermatitis of some sort (like eczema). You could try over the counter Clotrimazole and hydrocortisone. If these don't help, seeing a medical professional for an evaluation would help as you could get a physical exam.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Timothy Wong, General & Family Physician
