What Might Cause Inflammation And Swelling Of Buttocks?
I m a 28 yr old female. I ve been doing hot yoga everyday. And in the last few days the upper part of my butt crack is really sore and it hurts to sit down. It feels like I have bruising right next to the crack on my left cheek or it s inflamed from all the sweating in yoga

Hi
Due to increased sweating,infection is possible.After any form of exercise,taking bath is essential to remove sweat and odour.Any bruise or scratches that were already present can get inflammed or infected due to excess sweating.Ice packs can also be used to reduce swelling.
Hope that was helpful.Let me know if i can assist you further.
