It's possible that the redness and pain you are experiencing in your anus could be caused by a yeast infection, rather than psoriasis. Yeast infections are caused by an overgrowth of a type of fungus called Candida, and can cause symptoms such as itching, redness, and burning. Psoriasis and yeast infections can have similar symptoms, so it's important to consult with a healthcare provider.
