What Could Be Itchy And Smelly A Anal Clear Fluid Leak With Huge Discomfort?
I have a mostly clear fluid leak from my anus seemingly steady. I don't notice it happen and it's not a mass quantity. It's just enough to make the area around the anus wet and uncomfortable. It's of unpleasant smell. Also makes the skin around the area very irritated and itchy to the point I can scratch until it bleeds and that only makes it worse.

Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day
The whitish discharge is likely to be mucous from the rectum.
Mucous causes perineal irritation and itching.
Mucous is likely to be due to proctitis or colitis.
Suggest you to consult Surgeon.
In case you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
Wishing you happy and healthy life
Take Care
