Irritated anus after a day of loose poops. what is it in the poop that causes the irritation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Over use injury: It is most likely from the repeated cleaning that has caused a mild irritation that will improve over a period of time. Other causes could be hemorrhoid from the repeated bathroom trips and less likely from inflammatory conditions. It it continues for a couple of weeks seek care.
