Hi there really isnt anyway to ask this question, so here goes... The last feew days the top part of the crack of my backside have been sore. I asked my hubby to look at it and when i bent over I had to pul my crack apart, I have a little red sore , its itchy.... I also have a lumo to the side of that.. The littel red sore is at the very top on the crack on my backside.. The lump bothers me depending on how I am sitting. Wonder if you would know what this is????

Might be a perianal cyst.  You might want to have it checked out.  In time if it is a cyst it will get bigger.  I had emergency surgery a year ago to have one removed.  It went from the size of a dime to a grapefruit in 4 days.  This is nothing to mess around with.  Atleast if you go to the doctor and he says that is not what it is, it would be better knowing.  Take care.
