I too suffer from the same affliction that the above suffer from.  I am a mid 30's male, with a history of "gastro" issues, but they are diagnosed and under control, save this painful rash…

I too thought hemorrhoids, but no, that was not the answer.  I work very hard at keeping myself very clean down there, but to no avail.

Please help!

What is the cure though, please I've been searching for days and it hurts like hell.

It burns around my anus and is grossly moist.

What does I use to stop the burning? I tried with some baby powder and that sort of worked but theres got to be something better. Please help

Hi,

There could be several causes for the symptoms you are having. You should reconsult with your doctor to rule out the following possible causes -

'Perfumes, chemicals, or dye on toilet paper can cause an allergic reaction.

Moisture from sweat or diarrhea may cause itching. If the anal skin stays wet, the skin begins to break down.

Some foods irritate the anus when they are expelled during a bowel movement. The most common culprits are caffeine, chocolate, beer, nuts, dairy products, and spicy food.

Infections such as pinworms, yeast, and genital warts can cause itching.

Hemorrhoids, which cause painful swelling of blood vessels in the anal area, can cause itching.

Cancer, in rare instances, may be a cause.'

Therte are certain factors which predispose to the risk of developing anal itching as a symptom.

'Factors that put people most at risk for anal itching are as follows:

Diabetes

Recent antibiotic use

Chronic dry skin conditions such as psoriasis and seborrhea

Profuse sweating.'

Do discuss these with your doctor and exclude any possible causes in your case.

Post us if you need any further information and let us know about how you are doing.

Regards.
