Brief Answer:
Needs local examination and work up if required
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear.Thanks for your query.
As per your description I were to provisionally suspect 3 important causes.The most likely ones needs to be identified by examination and detailed work up-
1) Infection(anaerobic bacteria)
2) Collection of pus(abscess)
3) Rectal incontinence
All these conditions mimic each other in the way they manifest which simply mean that they have same symptoms such as dampness around the anus and smell.
Consult a surgeon so that he could examine locally and identify the cause which will help in appropriate management.
Hope this answers your query.Feel free to revert for further queries you may have.
