A member asked:

About 3 days ago i got a rash around my perineum and now it's spread around my anus. it's very painful to have bowel movements or anything. whatis it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Fungus or yeast: This could be a yeast infection. Especially if you are prone to vaginal infections. It would be best to have it checked to prevent further worsening or transmitting to another.

Suddenly after a bowel movement, I have a very constant itchy anus and there seems to be a lumpy haemorrhoid which has swelled up. I have been using creams to help and keep the area clean but it just won't go away, I've had the itch for 4 days now.
