Nonetheless. It occurs when the nerves have been jostled about or compressed enough to stop working properly. And like other injuries, it will often get worse.
Avoid any garment with stitched seams around the rear end area. Don't wear underwear with seams. Don't wear any trousers with rear pockets. Seams in clothing cause most of the burning or pain.
Purchasing motorcycling trousers without rear pockets is harder to track down if you're looking for one's in the Jeans style. A better bet is the cargo trousers. These mostly have inside flap pockets. The same goes for leather trousers. Fewer seams in the bum area = longer miles in the saddle. If you can keep cool around the bottom area this will help as well. On long rides, cycling shorts are also good at keeping you cool. These are breathable and have padding around the couch area. The Gel padded ones are the best type to wear. Again avoid the ones with seams. Tight fitting trousers make the dreaded bum burn worse.

Hope the tips that help me on long runs can help you on your next long trip.
