What Could Be The Painless Brown Spot Between The Butt Cheeks?

I have noticed that in the last couple of weeks I have a mid size brown spot in between my butt cheeks. I am very concerned and have no idea what it is.. Looks like a bruise but does not hurt. It is not around my butt hole but is above it by a few inches... Can you tell me what this can be... I am very concerned...

Hello
I would see these possibilities for these brown spots , these includes .
1 Eczematous dermatitis as this is the most common site . Mild itching present but no pain ( as you mentioned in your query). Diagnosis can be confirmed by physical examination by a dermatologist .
2 Fungus infection is another such cause . Diagnosis can be confirmed by scratch test by a dermatologist .
3 Psoriasis is the another such cause , so diagnosis can be confirmed by physical examination by a dermatologist .
In my opinion you must consult a dermatologist and get his opinion as physical examination is important in this type of cases.
Good luck.
