What Causes Swollen Red Skin Above Butt Crack?

At the top of my butt crack there s this swollen red patch and when I move it hurts insanely, so much so that I have to keep from screaming out if I hit it wrong. Tonight it s gotten worse. There s an actual bubble of skin that hurts like hell when I touch it, far worse then the other times. What is this????

Hello,

Your symptoms are suggestive of a local infection, although it is not still well visible. I recommend using locally an antibiotic ointment.

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