What Causes Anal Itching Post Open Heart Surgery?

Hi, My husband,60 years old, is diabetic,under control with meds. He had open heart surgery Nov.2012, and has had an irritable anal itching since right after his surgery at St. John's Regional Hospital,St. John,New Brunswick, Nov.2012 He has seen Dr. LePage,in Moncton, N.B.,Canada, a dermatologist 3 times, and the biopsy was negative. (Also the 3 ointments he took previously provided very little relief.) This is very uncomfortable for him, and interferes with his daily walking. I must mention he is "Not" a complainer, and although I suggested what I thought he should question about, I doubt he did as he finds this very embarrassing. Any suggestions you would care to share would certainly be appreciated.I look forward to your reply at your convenience. Thank you in advance.Betty Campbell
