I am having itching around my anus, it usually doesn't bother me until after a bowel movement. i have no bleeding but it's sometimes achy around anus?

Pruritus anus: Itching of the anal area can be due to pinworms or sensitivity to soap,toilet paper,perianal dermatitis or even overly vigorous cleansing after a BM. Try a cortisone cream applied lightly daily for a week to see if the itching clears.
