Rash On Top Of Buttock Which Is Itching And Red In Color. Is This Yeast Infection?

I've had a rash at the very top of my buttcrack for awhile now. I've just put lotion on in to help the dryness. But about a week ago it started to itch very bad and it got very red and started to get sores around it. I was thinking maybe it was a yeast infection. Any ideas? And cures?

Hi. Thanks for posting at HCM

Seems most likely to be a fungal infection but still needs to be confirmed by examination. I would advice that either you consult a nearby dermatologist OR you can ask me a direct query alomg with a picture of the affected area by following http://doctor.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-kakkar/66939.
