anal cancer?

this is embarrassing but my step sister was diagnosed with a form of cancer in her vagina or something due to an std, she had an std a while ago and i have used her dildo for my anus, since that time about two years ago my anus has been itchy and red, no bumps or anything like that, i dont think any discharge.. could it be internal hemroids?

First: leave embarrassment behind (no pun intended, really!).
Second: I am a veteran of anal cancer and treatment, and have no problem telling you a few things. Of course you should see a rectal doc for an exam or culture.

They symptoms you describe are not typical of anal cancer.  Often people are told they have irritable bowel syndrome.  A genital wart is a clue, as is uncontrollable discharges or gas that isn't gas, but mucus or blood or both.

A colonoscopy didn't uncover my cancer.  Nor did my dermatologist ever find a genital wart.

You've probably see a doc by now, so this is just blather, but remember that cancer is not contagious.  HPV is.  I had never heard of it before it attacked and blossomed
as a skin cancer (can't spell the name of it).

Sex is a great thing.  So much fun! Am sure you are ok.  So carry on..safely:).
