Though there are many causes for anal itching like-- Simple sweating, diarrhea, hemorrhoids, worm infestations, diabetes . But the the appearance of the lesion ( whitish & chopped skin), indicates it to be mostly,Yeast infection or candidosis with secondary infection. Very remote possibility of psoriasis remains ,
