Small bumps (maybe sores? I dont know the right term) around anus and butt crack.
I am a 37 year old male of Indian origin. For the last 2 months or so, I have been getting these small whitish colored bumps around my anus and the butt crack upto my tail bone, that come and go, but never go away. Like, I will get 3-4 in various places and then they will heal but others will come up. They are itchy at times, prominently when I wake up in the morning, but then they are not really itchy for the rest of the day. After bowel movement, when I spray water jet to clean the anal area, the ones on which water jet sprays directly will burn or smart, but only while water is being sprayed on them.
At first I thought it was because I was applying lots of prickly heat powder down there and that might be causing blockage in the pores, so I very much reduced the amount of powder I apply after showers & bowel movement. But I see no real difference in their occurrence.
I keep the genital area clean as possible - I shave it regularly, keep it dry and clean it with soap and water after bowel movements and during showers, so I am a little perplexed why this is happening. I also do not have multiple sex partners, and have had the same partner for the last decade.
Please suggest what it might be.
P.S.: How do I add images to my post?
