Candida: A yeast infection is one possibility. Another is inflammation from hemorrhoids, anal fissure or proctitis. A trial of micatin (miconazole) may help. If symptoms are persistent sigmoidoscopy to check for anal problems is advised.

Most often due to : Caffeine and excess moisture. Mayt turn into a yeast infection. If caught early corn starch powder liberally to the are works well. If this doesn't clear, see a dermatologist or better a colorectal surgeon. Biopsy may be necessary.
