The skin has teared up on the upper middle portion of the but cracks...just near the the tail bone and its hurting. I am not sure what it actually is.

Could be due to a condition called a pilonidal cyst. This can cause pain and discomfort in the area. I recommend keeping the area clean and dry to prevent infection. You can apply an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice a day to help with healing. Additionally, taking a pain reliever like ibuprofen can help with the pain. If the pain persists or if there are signs of infection such as increased redness, swelling, or drainage of pus, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.
