I m having some anal itching. It s sometimes bad enough that it s all I think about. I have strained working quite a bit in life but I can t feel any hemorrhoids. I m an RN and I feel like I should know this. It s been prevalent for about 2 years and it stays damp in the anal area. What could it be?
