Hello, I would be happy to help you with your question.

It sounds like you are describing what we call an 'anal fissure'. This might appear like a small cut just at the anus. Given the itching, I will presume that this might be related to a yeast infection around the anus.

You could apply some yeast cream around the anus twice daily and see if that helps over the next couple of days. Regardless, though, you should go in to see a doctor and have them perform an exam to see if there is a fissure. They will discuss additional ways that this can be approached, such as prescription steroids.

I hope that this helps and good luck!
