How To Get Rid Of Soreness Around Anus?
Hi. I have a very sore area around my anus.The area is quite large spreading from the anus so not just a ring around the anus itself. It stings badly when I pee. I have had it on and off for about 3 months now and it lasts for several days. I do keep myself very clean as this helps the problem a little. I am a 56 year old post menopausal woman and have wondered if the problem could be hormone related. I never use scented soap and have not changed soap or soap powders recently. Is there something I can buy from the chemist to alleviate or cure the problem please? I'm off on holiday on Sunday so it's too late to see the doctor. However I can buy many medicines over the counter without prescription whilst on holiday in Turkey. Many thanks. Helen

It's not a hormone related problem.
It's a local skin problem or could be - one possibility - fissure in ano.
Better you take OTC herbal soap and some turmeric cream to clean anal area and apply turmeric cream.
If you can find Haridra capsule, Manjishtha capsule and take for few days, it can relieve in stinging little bit.
Judge through mirror if there's any cut etc to ascertain any fissure. In that case apply Himalya's Pilex ointment and turmeric cream. It will only relieve. These are safe herbals.
Soon after coming back consult doctor to know the cause.
Hope it will help.
