:( I'm sorry. That sounds like it really sucks. It also sounds like you are doing all the right things that I know of. Stay away from anything harsh, don't wash with soap, use baby butt cream.
Sorry, I don't have much advice for you. That sounds like something that needs a diagnosis. It could still be irritation from all the things you've tried. Unfortunately, a lot of the information out there on herbal medicine is biased towards the new hot product. And a lot of it is unnecessarily harsh. Local, gentle herbs have a lot of wonderful healing properties.
It could be from yeast. Have you tried some vaginal yeast cream down there? It wouldn't hurt and its fairly cheap.
Another thought is to take baths with strong plantain tea in the water. Plantain is an herb which is very soothing and healing to the skin. Speaking of baths, it is possible that your butt is allergic to your shampoo, since the water winds up draining down there when you rinse. And no bath oils, bubbles, or scented anything.
Also, its possible that you are allergic to something you are eating, and you are only seeing where it is reacting with the skin on the way out. (This one is a stretch, but its not impossible.)
