What Causes Itching Around The Anus?
hello. i have been having itching around my anal area for about 2 months. it started out when i had bad diarrhea and i was wiping rough and made myself bleed a little. then, the itching had started. it’d happen when i would sweat. but now it happens all the time. it’s basically raw down there. the itching is mainly between my vagina and anus but sometimes my actual anus does itch. i don’t know what it could be. i shower and scrub thoroughly down there once a day. please help!
