Redness and itching near anus opening
I am 33 year old male and am suffering from itching and irritation near anus opening for the last two weeks. When applying coconut oil after cleaning the area I feel a little better but mildly burning, and itching is persistent. It gets worse immediately after defecation.
What can I do?
