HI WELCOME TO HEALTHCARE MAGIC.It seems you are suffering from perianal intertrigo.It tends to occur in moist areas.Secondary infections from fungus and bacteria are also common.Oozing of fluid from your pilonidal sinus may be a cause for it.Keep area dry and clean.Use antifungal powder at day time.Start applying a steroid antifungal and antibiotic combination over affected area.Use loose undergarments.Once you have done with your surgery for sinus this problem will also recover.Take care.
