Hi welcome to HCM.
Well there can be a few causes of your problem e.g.
1. Pinworms infestation
2. Scabies
3. Any anal pathology such as tags
You can get your stool tested for any eggs/ worms etc. Get an anal exam done by your doctor .If you think you have a good general hygiene then scabies is less likely but its one of the possible reasons.
I wish you good health
