Clean & dry,: This sounds like pruritus ani, a common condition when the anus stays wet or is exposed too frequently to otc moistening creams, wipes, etc. Some diseases (eg. Hemorrhoids, fissure, fistula) can contribute. Stop any creams, use non-toxic soap (eg.Cetaphil) or balneol (otc) and carefully dry area with hair dryer-if condition persists, seek help.
