anal rash

Hey, in the past 3 weeks I've developed a seriously itchy rash around my anus. It's dark brown, and seems to be worse when I wear anything tight. It was getting better thanks to aloe vera but now aloe vera just stingers. The only helpful thing is a bath with epsom salts. What is it/where could it have come from - should I be worried? I'm embarrassed to go to a walk-in clinic without a bit more info.

This sounds crazy but put tape on your bum before bed and if in morning there are spots ( not as in skin) on it you may have bugs  kids get it but occasionally adults will

try poking an evening primrose capsule from the drug store or walmart , take the oil and rub it on, it's my life saver when I get that issue.
