A member asked:

I'm 32. i have prickly anal sensation. comes & goes. no bleeding, no diarrhea dx with ibs yrs ago & eczema. could it be ibs or eczema? common causes?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need to examine: It could be a skin rash or hemorrhoids. It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, and physical examination. You may try over the counter hemorrhoid medication. If that does not work, it would be prudent to see your doctor.
