Discomfort Around Anal Opening, Red Rash, Pricking When Walking
Question: I have discomfort around my anal opening. Red rash with smaller red bumps. When I walk it feels like prickely... And I've been passing gas a lot more than usual. When I do pass gas there is no scent...and it provides comfort for a min.
Hello, AAAA
You are a young gentleman with this problem. You have been
passing more gas.I am assuming you are more constipated
than usual.If you have a red rash around the anal opening
and you have small bumps, that could mean you may have
small external hemorrhoids with surrounding irrtation of
the skin from rubbing using the toilet tissue. If you have
recently changed anything in the form of tissues or cleansing
agents such as a different soap, I would look into it.
In the mean time, avoid constipation,use stool softeners,
drink more fluids.
As for treatment, get a cortisone cream(High potency-10%)
and use it around the anal opening about 3 times a day
and sit in a warm bath for 20mins./day for a week or ten bdays.
If this does not clear it see a proctologist.
Wish you well.
