I have an ulcer like thing at the top of my "crack"?!


Question: I have an ulcer like thing at the top of my "crack"?
I have an ulcer or hole at the top of my butt crack. I first noticed it when I was 13 or 14, and it has since healed leaving a crater scar.

Every few months it starts bleeding again, or another crater starts forming around the area. The condition has improved with age(now 21) and hygiene, but it still occurs.

I have also noticed related symptoms, such as sharp pains in my abdomen, and bleeding from my anus.

I don't think it's fatal, seeing as I'm still alive after all these years.

Is there a medical name for this? could it be caused by several diseases?

Answers:

Decubitus ulcers should be treated by a physician or in a wound clinic. They are prone to infection and can cause other problems. If it is above your anus it could be caused by prolonged acitivity on your back. Get this checked out so you could possibly get some medication. Best of luck.
