What Causes Red Irritation Along Perineum And Anus?

Hello. My boyfriend is a 22 year old male, in good physical health. This morning he has awoken with a very bright red irritation along his perineum, and down and around his anus. There also seems to be some small raises in the skin, much like a dermatological issue. It is painful, unless it is scratched in which case he feels some relief. Do you have any idea as to what this could be?
