What Causes Extreme Itching Around The Anus?

I am a 44 year old female. I ve had extreme itching around my anus area for almost a year now. I had several tests done for pinworms, etc... that were all negative. It is still extremely uncomfortable, and I m wondering what type of doctor I should make an appointment to see?
