DEAR USER

symptoms of that torn skin with itching between buttocks refer to have skin infection bacterial or fungal infection that could cause that
you should see your doctor for clinicla examination and to see these lesions and detect the cause
you can do investigative test to confirm diagnosis by wound culture to detect micro organism causing that
you should not get damp of the leision and try to keep your skin dry avoising excessive sweating as sweating will cause severe irritation and more pain with itching
you can use local antibiotic cream such as erythromycin cream if bacterial infection suspectedand you can use fluconazole cream if fungal infection suspected.....if you have some difficulties to see the doctor you can try each of them
avoid tight narrow clothes and wear cotton clothes and wide clothes

wish you healthy life
