Not sure this is in the right forum, but
it seemed to be the closest match.
For the past few days, I have been dealing
with a somewhat embarrassing problem.
My anal/butthole has literally been
itching, and at times, painful. It is
only painful when I feel around the area
(when I try and figure out what is wrong).
Sometimes, when I squeeze my buttocks,
or spread them too much, it gets
painful.
I do not think it is hemmroids (sp?)
i had my wife take a look (embarrassing)
and she said it looks really rashy, even a
little pus it seems, as if some skin has
been taken off. But there doesn't seem to
be a tear (anal fissure: http://en.Wikipedia.Or
g/wiki/anal_fissure )
it does't hurt when I go to the restroom,
nor is the stool bloody or anything.
When I sit down, I don't feel much pain,
just uncomfortable from the itching at
times.
Any idea what this is? How long it
lasts? Do I really need to see a doctor?
