Suggest Remedy To Treat Anal Itching

After stools, I used to clean my anal area by rubbing it hard with toilet paper and that has gradually caused rashes around the anal opening now. This causes no pain but lot of itchiness. After I take a bath or clean the area with a disinfectant the itchiness is subdued for few hours but returns after some time. How can I treat this condition?
