red anas

I just had a quick question.  Since November of last year I have been experiencing anal problems, it was first diagnosed as the hemoroids, so I did everything the dr. suggested, as time passed by I had it looked at again in january and up until now!  The dr. tells me (I've been to several now) that the hemeroids are gone, and that its a type of fungus I've tried several creams now, and the anal area is still very red and dry at times, granted the cream makes it better but I have been using it for almost 2 months now.... Is it normal for that area to be red?  my job has me sitting down most of the day, but I try to work out and it just acts up more with itchiness.  I'm tired of getting the full cavity search and no one knowing whats wrong it's been like this for almost a year now.. I suggested maybe pin worms but they said it wouldn't be likely since I sleep with the wife and she doesn't have them and I am told they are highly contagious between people.

I'll have to try the stool sample, I thought it weird that they would just magically disappear I think it could be the soap but not sure I've been using it for awhile and everywhere else is fine, as for laundry soap hard to say it switches every now and then

how about testing for herpes? a LOT of people have it, 4 out of 5 don't show symptomg.

i have something like this, haven't had it checked out yet, but it's unpleasant just knowing something's not right :(
