Hello
I appreciate your concern
Looking at your history of itching and crawling sensation, this could be Fissure in Anus or parasitic or worm infestation

I would advise you to follow these guidelines
Try to avoid constipation by taking liquid paraffin or other stool softening agent
Have plenty of dietary fibres
Lots of fluids
You can apply local anaesthetic ointment like lignocaine
Sitz bath twice daily
