I'm having these irritated sores or bumps, kind of like cysts, near my anus and in the butt crack. They've been there for a week, hurt, sometimes itch, and they release pus. They started as white pimple-like bumps. It gets worse when I sit or if urine gets on them. I noticed them after I shaved and wore dry pads that ended up rubbing against that area a couple of days after shaving. Could this be some kind of diaper rash or something more serious?

This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.
