Bleeding and itching, burning sensation around anal area after every bowel movement?

Pruritus ani: Pruritus ani is common. This just means "itchy butt". Key treatment is to take care of the skin: 1. Don't use medicated creams or wipes 2. Use warm water baths 3. If stools are wet, add dry fiber to firm them up. 4. If persists, see your colorectal surgeon. Consider probiotics.
