or anything at all? It's red and rashy and I've had it for over a year so it's sort of scarred and then I get off and on things that feel and look like pimples but I don't think they are cuz they're different.

Sounds like you got yourself a nasty butt rash. There are a couple of possibilities: the fabric in your underwear is irritating your skin and causing contact dermatitis; or moisture is building up while you are sitting and causing either a bacterial or fungal infection.
Some things you can try:
* use a chair that allows air flow under your butt
* switch your underwear to a wicking fabric such as polyester (search the web for wicking underwear)
* sprinkle some Doctor Scholl's or Gold Bond medicated footpower in you briefs before putting them on
* try using just about any diaper rash ointment when things break out

That is gross, but hey, things happen.
Make sure you are washing with a rough cloth or loofah to remove dead skin cells, and try an antibiotic ointment. If you can make sure the area is really dry before dressing after bathing.
Have a Dr. check it if nothing helps.

sounds like some sort of boil. i would have it checked out if it actually hurts and messes with your daily activities. otherwise some neosporin may help. get it checked if it hurts.
