Could be few : Things. Generally speaking avoid eating spicy food, tomatoes, chocolates, too much caffeine, orange jujce and nuts. These are the common causes of perianal itching. If your feeling is on the inside then it could be a fissure, anal tag or hemorrhoids. If symptoms dont resolve you will need an anorectal exam.
