What Causes Anal Itching?
For several weeks now I have had problems with anal itching. It seems to be worse when I m lying down in my bed, it almost has a tingling sensation. I have also seen a small red stripe extending about 1 inch on the edge of my anus and it appears to go further inside. Sometimes there are more than one. Any insight into what could cause this could be greatly appreciated
