Around the anus it itches & it seems rash like.mom thinks it's from the cheap toilet paper. i feel like something is crawling inside but nothing there?

Mother may be right: Anus itching could be related to several issues including incomplete cleaning after a bowel movement. This is where the cheap toilet paper comes into play. Other causes include meds, local irritations and rashes and even parasites.
