Can A Desk Job Lead To Sore And Painful Butt Crack?

Hi, I just have a couple questions. The first is that my butt crack is always pretty red. Its normally not sore, just red. I have a job where I sit in a deskchair all day so I assume thats what its from but wanted to check. Also, sometimes my buttcrack gets sore up toward my back at the bottom of my tailbone area. I havn t injured it, but i m wondering if this is also from sitting at my job? I can t find a bump or mark or anything, its almost as though the hair is getting pulled in that spot or sore from sitting. I just wanted to double check. Thanks.

hi, prolonged sitting leads to pallor of the base of the buttock. Once you stand up, the area is perfused and looks red for some time. soreness in the area is also because of the same reason.It is not a thing to worry about. Hope this helped.
