Hello
Anal warts can be treated with podophyllin application however it needs to be applied by a trained person as it can cause burning.
Itch might be due to fungal infection.
Apply ointment clotrimazole twice daily for two weeks.

You can try this.
If possible upload a photograph of the involved area.
