A member asked:
In my anal region, i sweat but it smells and it's slick (kinda slimy) when wet but sticky when dry. is this a yeast infection?

Not necessarily: yeast infection is more painful and itchy. What u are experiencing could be from abnormal anal discharge (like mucus or feces) that drained after u have cleaned yourself. The smell, color would be the clue.
