  5. I've got this bump or blister near the upper part of my butt crack. It feels like one of those stubborn pimples that won't pop, and it's really uncomfortable when I'm sitting or lying down. I'm pretty busy right now, so finding time to see a doctor is tough. Is there any easy home remedy I could try? Also, do you think this could be a reaction to something I ate?
