I'm not to the point yet where I feel comfortable discussing this with my doctor. Its pretty embarassing. So I decided to post here to see if anyone has experienced the same thing or has any suggestions.
About a year and a half ago, I started getting pretty frequent rashes/bumps in my butt crack around my anus. They don't hurt. They just itch REALLY bad. Sometimes its one big "bump" that is located pretty close to my anus, other times its a more spread out rash, further away from my anus. It takes anywhere from a few days to a week to go away. It also seems to itch more when I'm trying to fall asleep.
With the itching comes an odor. And it also feels like my butt crack is "sweating" more, or more moist, which I'm sure is not an environment to help relieve the itchy.
I'm not sure what I did to bring this on. I do workout frequently and sweat a lot when I do. I don't showing IMMEDIATELY after, but its not like I sit around for days as a sweaty mess either.

It sounds like you have pruritus ani...I feel your frustration! I didn't know what it was for years and even though I tried tons of different products, the condition got progressively worse...
Even if it's not "technically" pruritus ani, anal itching (especially at night) can start to take over your life. The more research I did, the more treatments I found, but I did come across one ointment in particular called Pranicure. I think you can only get it online, but it honestly resolved the urge to itch and felt like it healed the rectal area. I still get an itchy bum from time to time, but the Pranicure stuff lasts a long time and once I apply it I'm good to go!
