What Does It Mean If The Inside Of My Anus
Question: what does it mean if the inside of my anus (near the outside) is itchy?

Pinworms or candida possible
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
I think the main cause of the itching is pinworms.
You may need to do a stool sample to check for parasites.
The treatment consists on antiparasitic drugs ( vermox).
Also candida, yeast infection can cause itching. If you have recently used antibiotics it may cause candida infection.
Doing a stool candida examination may determine it.
