What Causes Severe Itching In Anus And Perineum?
I've got an extremely itchy anus as well as perineum, and no matter what I do it won't go away. I've had it for about a year now, but it's starting to get worse, and it mainly happens when I'm trying to sleep. I've checked my stool for worms but I see nothing.. what's causing the itch?
