What Does A Skin Tag Between The Buttocks Indicate?

I have a skin tag on the inside of my butt crack, it s been there for a while with no issues or pain. This morning it felt irritated by my underwear and I noticed it had looked more like a pimple today. It irritated me all day and I took a hot compress to it and it popped and oozed. Is that something that happens?

Hi Thanks For Contacting !

Well , Dear the growth that you are describing in your buttock area can be a simple skiing tag , or a wart or a simple pimple .
These few things are required in your history .
Do you have any associated symptoms like rectal bleeding of pain ?
Are you homosexual ?
What's the exact time when it appeared ?
Is it only one or there are many others similar growths on your body ?

For the time being , I would suggest you to avoid constipation , wear loose cloths which allow air passage easily , apply Cream Clindamycin on the growth that just popped up to avoid any secondary bacterial infection and keep the area clean .

Thank You
