A member asked:
Can hemorrhoids cause redness and irritation all around the anus ( even a couple inches out from the anus)? even if it doesn't itch very often?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely: unless it is skin irritation caused by moisture. Show it to your doctor to make sure that it is not a perirectal abscess.
