Should Dry Warts Like Bumps Around The Anus Be Kept Dry / Moisturized?
i have an outbreak of dry bumps around my anus. they look almost like warts. they feel itchy, but raw and irritated. i am a male in a monogamous marriage. no history of stds. should it be kept dry or moisturized? i feel inclined to put some kind of a salve.

given your history, the bumps are not likely hemorrhoids. you should use an over the counter cream like preparation H which should help. if it doesn't resolve, you should see your doctor. I hope this was helpful, please let me know if you have any more questions.
