Many possibilities: There are multiple possible causes of anal itching (pruritus) including: infections (e.g. Pinworms, fungi, stds), hemorrhoids, dermatitis, anal leakage and/or poor anal hygiene and dietary irritants (e.g. Coffee, cola, beer, tomatoes, citrus, chocolate and tea). Balneol lotion (otc) is a soothing lotion that might provide some local relief. If symptoms persist you will need to see your doctor.
