Hi
i appreciate your concern
Looking at your history it seems to be a case of fungal infection of Peri anus area

in.my opinion you should consult a doctor for through examination and KOH smear test

meanwhile you can use antifungal cream like miconazole or clotrimazole to be applied locally

Maintain a good hygiene
