A member asked:

Can a yeast infection cause an extremely itchy anus?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Yeast can affect anal skin as well as intertrigo, inverse psoriasis, food sensitivity, internal or external hemorrhoids, fissure etc. Topical Hydrocortisone is safe short term but get checked if it persists.
