Having Severe Anus Itching. What Could Be Wrong?
I ve been having severe anus itching lately. I believed I had pinworms so I put a Q Tip with peroxide in my anus to attract them . But when I pulled it out nothing was there ... Yet while inside me there was profuse bubbling. What could be wrong? (I have been sexually active , if that matters)

Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Anus itching caused by pin worms usually increases during nights and can spread to the perineal region and genitals. Keep the area clean and get a NIH swab test which will confirm eggs of pinworm if present. Get appropriate therapy based on test results.
Thanks.
