Have Redness At Anus Area. Suffer Burning Sensation. Feeling Itching. Feeling Painful. What Can Be Done?
Question: For about a month and a half now I have had redness at the anus area and it being itchy when i dont touch, and a little burning sensation when i scratch the area. In addition, at times the anus area at the insertion point seems extra moist than usual. The area from my anus to my tailbone is also pinkish red in color and itches once in awhile. It also is painful when i make a movement that stretches the skin. It looks like a cut trying to heal, but the scabbing doesnt look like a normal scab. I dont remember getting cut. Not sure what this is. Some days are better than others, but the itching is seeming to be more prevalent lately.
