Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have red bumps around the inner buttocks . Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to may reasons like herpes , folliculitis , psoriasis , fungal infection or syphilis . I would suggest you to wear loose cloths , keep this area dry , maintain proper personal hygiene and apply telecom powder . Also take benadryl twice a day . If condition doesn't get improve then consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may prescribe anti fungal like fluconazole , antiviral like acyclovir along with corticosteroid ointment and anti bacterial like clindamycin .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
