What Causes Pinkish Discoloration Of Skin Around Anal Area?
Hi. I have noticed that the skin just around my anus is pink. There is no itching, discomfort, swelling, etc. aside from the discoloration. I have mild psoriasis and have tried to use that creme (Dovonex) on the area, thinking it was another psoriasis patch, but there was no improvement suggesting it's not psoriasis. What might this be?

HI
Well come to HCM
This is may not be the psoriasis but the chances of fungal infection may be likely if the lesion is asymptomatic then you can wait for some time because this may come around on its own, if this does not then you can try "Miconazole gel" else this is nothing to worry, this would be fine soon, have a nice day.
