Cause For Itching Around The Anus?
Hi, I have had itching around my anus for 2-3 months now, it started out itching and then developed a small lump, this lump comes and goes frequently but comes back bigger every time and has become purple/black in colour. It is directly below my testicles on the outer of my anus and tends to be very itchy on a night. What could this be?, and what treatment should follow? Thank you.

Thanks for asking in healthcaremagic forum
Anal itching may be due to worm infestation/infection and also may be due to sentinel pile. So, please visit a doctor who can examine you physically and treat you accordingly. All the best.
