What Causes A Red Scar Between The Anus And Bum Crack?

Hey, I have a bit of a red line going up from my anus and stopping at the top of my bum crack.. Is there a way to get rid of this? What causes it? Also, between my anus and vagina sometimes gets quite itchy. I don t know if this is because I shave near that area or something else?
