So I wasn't sure whether to post this in the Dermatology forum or STD forum (seeing as I have history with an STD). But lately I have been having this stinging in my anal area. I have had anal warts (HPV) and had a surgery to have them removed. Since then I have not had any flair ups with warts--just occasional bleeding when having a large or larger than usual bowel movement (During my healing after the wart removal surgery, i was given a cream to apply to the effected area and advised to use TUCKS wipes--i stopped that treatment a couple weeks in because of the pain that occured during application.) Anyway, that was months--almost a year--ago. Recently within the year Ive been more sexual active with anal sex. Not too much because the pain was still there. Only recently within the week have I been having this problem. There are no polyps/warts, no discharge, no cuts (that i can notice) nothing. Just the stinging pain--comparable to if I wiped with glass fiber. I keep checking to see if anything pops up but nothing does. And when I search "Anal Stinging" all that comes up is anal fissures...and its not that. If anyone can please help me out with some sort of explanation...it would greatly be appreciated.
