Question 3

After a BM, first clean with paper, then clean with lotion INSIDE

Your symptoms could: Be from hemorrhoids or diet related. Pruritus is commonly caused by increase ingestion of coffee, chocolate, beer, orangs/grapefruit juice, tomatoes, spicy food and nuts.Watch your diet, avoid scented toilet papers, and use over the counter meds. If symptoms don't seem to be improving you will need an examination to rule out any other etiology.

Question 10

what could it be when the same spot in the anus itches and bleeds for years?

Accepted Answer

: It's hard to tell from your question exactly where in the anal area this spot is. I would recommend you speak to your doctor who can ask more questions, and may know your history, and be examined. This could be a hemorrhoid or anal fissure or just an irritation from wiping (these differences depend on where the area is). Chronic constipation could also lead to all of these issues.
