General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood the concerns>
Burning and pain around the anus are usually due to perianal skin infection, dermatitis or fissure-in-ano.
This can be diagnosed by clinical examination preferably by a General Surgeon and thus get a correct diagnosis.
I would advise you the following in such a situation:
Clean the area while taking Sitz bath in a tub with warm water.
Make it dry and apply liquid povidone iodine.
Get the stool, blood and urine tested.
If there is any evidence of infection get a course of an antibiotic, metronidazole and probiotics to hasten the control of infection and healing.
Further management as per the clinical findings.
Continue Omeprazole, Naproxen and Levothyroxine; get a review of thyroid functions and other tests to get the dosages adjusted.
