Brief Answer:
Possible

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

Singles can form anywhere on the body including the anal region. However since shingles is usually generalized I strongly recommend you to see a dermatologist to rule out other infectious causes for lesions near the butt crack

I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
