The cause needs to be ascertained, e.g., you may have pinworm infection that would require very different treatment from these symptoms being due to hemorrhoids or anal fissure. It would be prudent to consult your doctor.

Use warm sitz bath (10-15 minutes) then apply lidocaine ointment (OT), several times a day.
