Saddle sores

This is chafing that occurs due to friction from the saddle. A chamois can only do so much to ward off chaffing, and hours in the saddle, an extra bumpy ride, or unwanted moisture from an unexpected rain shower can cause sores on your nether regions — a true pain in the butt.

Prevent them by applying a chamois cream before you get rolling.
