The common skin infection on buttocks is folliculitis.. folliculitis is infection of the hair follicle.. you can apply neomycin cream twice daily for a week,.. do not prick or scratch with finger it will lead to secondary infections... you are needed to consult a dermatologist.. i hope i have answered your question...

Hello;
welcome to HealthcareMagic
The lump or swelling on top of the butt crack is probably an abscess or a cyst.Please get examined by a doctor to find what it is and if it is an abscess then you will need antibiotics which the doctor will prescribe.If you don't get relief with the antibiotics or the swelling increases then you will have to consult a surgeon for surgical drainage of pus if any or removal of the cyst if it is so.
Thanks
