What Causes Ridge Line Around The Rim Of Sphincter?

For quite a few years I ve had an itch mostly on the external surface of my anus. I know the common sense answer is hemroids, but are there certain ways to tell because it doesn t seem like that. There seems to be a ridge line around the external rim of the sphincter and that seems to be the main cause for irritation
