Specializes in Pediatrics

Dermatitis: The Anus area is prone to itchy dermatitis most commonly caused by incomplete wiping after a BM, excess sweat and moisture due to tight fitting undergarments, hemorrhoids, irritation due to soaps/wipes. It is possible also possible that you have a fungal infection or pinworms. You will need a dr's visit to determine the cause and treatment.
