See dermatologist: hemorrhoids can be inherently itchy, but also could be @ pruritus ani secondary to a yeast or fungal infection. This usually can be treated with topical antiyeast/fungals along with sitz baths using aveeno bath powder in the tub. see derm to confirm

A 36-year-old female asked:
I have a small blue/purple lump near the opening of my anus. It is mildly painful and a bit itchy. My doctor mentioned that I also have an internal small hemorrhoid. But, after research this seems more like a hematoma then a hemorrhoid. What to do?

I have been dealing with an itchy anus for two months now. I've tried gentle cleaning, witch hazel, and hydrocortisone cream, bu it still itches after I go poo. What could be the cause? I don' have hemorrhoids by the way

Do external hemorrhoids always bleed? Pretty sure I have a small red bulge on my anus, but it's not bleeding and it isn't itchy.
