Anal itching: Anal itching is among the most common symptoms humans experience; everyone has at least occasional anal itching. With spread to a wider area, you might have a localized fungal infection or other dermatitis. You could try an over-the-counter steroid (e.g. hydrocortisone cream). If that doesn't help, see a doctor or clinic for profssional evaluation and treatment.
