For a few months now I have a kind of rash on my buttocks, closer to the crack. It goes thru cycles of being very itchy and red to mostly unnoticeable with the exception of a darker color and dry/peeling with no itch. Size wise it’s about two quarters edge to edge. Not sure what it is. Advice?

It's most likely that you are getting a rash due to the moisture in the area- keep it clean and try to keep it dry.  If that doesn't seem to help, you can get to your doctor to have them take a look.  It's possible there is some bacteria or yeast causing the rash, in which case you will want to get a cream from your doctor to help.
