maybe hemroids??? IDK:( I had the same thing I think. My doctor offered to look at it but I didnt have time. Mine went away within a week. Sorry I couldnt help more.
The redness and irritation could be from scratching, if the itching causes this. It sounds like it is probably hemoroids, why didn't your doctor say more about it? You've been using the creams as suggested and they aren't working.. I'd hate to freak you out, and I'm not sure why this would be causing such a problem so suddenly, but it could possibly be pinworms. There is a medhelp page on this, I believe. I know it sounds horrible, but it's more common than you think and you should probably google it and find some more info. If there is none of this irritation on the inside and just on the outside, then this wouldn't be the case.. it would probably be some sort of infection, yeast perhaps? I'm not sure! I don't know enough about it to give you a better answer. I'm sorry you're so uncomfortable. :(
Oh my gosh how embarrassing! lol.. the page kept refreshing itself, something is wrong with my Medhelp.org it's not loading right. I'm sorry about that. :(
I had the same thought as KStarr. It could be pinworms. You should get it checked out further.
Thank you sooo much for answering...............the thought of pinworms crossed my mind also because of it being so intense at night sometimes. It is getting to be comletely unbearable!!!!!!!!! I have never suffered daily like this in my life plus its so embarrassing to even talk about:(
Thanks again.............you girls are great!
