Mild cracks and itchy butt

[MenJack]

Hi, my butt is very itchy at times, mostly during nights or early morning.
The area of itching is the start of the butt from spinal cord and the point of cleavage.
I tried to find out the source of it and noticed that there is actually a crack(burst) and that's itching the most.
Yes, the crack is mild and very itchy.
Also the skin where my butt cleavage starts has such a dry skin like ripen pine apple.

At times, the end of the butt cleavage also itches.
Not sure what causes that.

Please please tell me what should I do?

Thanks for your response. I met the doctor. He said its due to candidiasis - fungal infection due to wearing wet clothes.. thanks

Hello,
It can be due to a pilonidal dimple. The majority of pilonidal dimples are harmless, congenital anomalies that consist of a small depression or pit. There may be increased hairiness around the area.
The pilonidal dimple may also be a deep tract, rather than a shallow depression, leading to a sinus that may contain hair. These can become infected and drain.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing
