What Causes Painful, Itching Sore On The Buttock Accompanied By Bad Odour?

Hi I have a red,flat, round, sore in my bum cheek. Prior to this stage last week it was really really itchy! And was so sore even when I sat down on the toilet to pee cause it caused my cheeks to separate making it hurt. And dreaded going poop knowing I had to wipe which relieved the itch but hurt badly after wiping! Along with theses symptoms there s this really bad order. (Only thing to describe as if like something crawled up in and died) I ve had this since November 2016. On and off with those same symptoms... Never had this before and not sure what it can be. I do have genital heperes but my outbreaks are low like 1-2 times a year.... but it never smells like how my bum does if it s is herpes on my bottom. After my first born I did have hemroids and still have a skin tag hanging on my bum hole.....after my natural birth. Any thoughts and ideas what this may be? Please help 38 year old Mother of 2 children Thank you

hello,
This sounds like a sebaceous cyst. They form when a hair follicle or oil glad gets blocked and forms a small cyst. The fluid in them is thick and smells bad. If it has been there that long you may need to see a doctor and have it removed. Sometimes soaking in warm water will help it open up and drain but if it keeps reforming then the cyst capsule may need to be removed by a doctor. This can be done easily in the office.
Regards
