Anal itch: along w/cancer sore(s) as seen in your history suggest the possibility of a weak immune system. Please continue to see your doctor. Ask him/her about taking several doses of vitamin C daily, but not to the point of giving you the runs. Consider changing your laundry detergent or type of underwear. You can also consult a dermatologist about the itch. Peace and good health.
