Rash on buttocks and scrotum

I have recently noticed red bumps on my inner buttocks (only right side).  I thought they were just bug bites until it began to spread along the right side on my inner buttocks.  Then I noticed a similar rash on the bottom right side of my scrotum.  After a couple days this all just kept spreading and getting more painful.  It doesn't seem to be spreading fast, or even at all on my scrotum, but it is sore/painful and itchy.  I noticed yesterday that there were small black dots about the size of a pinhead on the rash on my scrotum.  What is this?  I ran over a couple things online that made me think of shingles (but i do not feel ill or anything).  There is some pain in my lymph node on the right illiac crest.  What does this have to do with it?

Can someone help me please, for the past month I have had itchy red boil like lesions around my testicles and inner buttocks, at first these were just itchy now they are becoming painful with a clear liquid weeping from them and a scab forming over them every 2 days. My doctor is useless and keeps telling me to wait to see the dermatologist but I cant put up with this much longer it is keeping me awake at night and driving me insane. No cream seems to help and no  anti histhamine reduces the irritation at all what is wrong with me??????

Hello,
From the symptoms the possibilities of boils, heat rash, sweat dermatitis or scabies rash. Diagnosis of scabies is made by scraping the skin and viewing the material under a microscope to see the characteristic mite or eggs.

My sincere suggestion is to get it evaluated from a doctor.  It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
