What Causes Itching Sensation On Top Of Buttocks?

About a week ago the top of my butt crack started to itch. I really didnt think much of it cause my butt tends to itch alot anyway. Well then some bumps started to appear. They felt like swollen pimples you know the pimples that just are not ready to be popped. Anyway I would press them and they would pop. So I just figure they were ingrown hairs or something. But by the next day they would be back stilling itch and now painful.

Hi,

From what you are describing, the bumps you felt on top of your butt are suggestive for pinoidal cysts. I advise to consult further with proctologist as you might need oral antibiotics and local treatment.

All the best!
