A member asked:

Itching and sweating with a little blood from the rectum?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Irritated skin: Itching, burning, traces of blood are often a sign of irritated perianal skin. This is usually due to over-aggressive cleansing, use of soap or scented lotions to the area. Avoid wet wipes and consider the use of a cleanser like Balneol. Avoid steroid creams, which can actually thin the skin and increase both itching and bleeding.
