Hello dear
Understand your concern.
Severe anal itching could be associated with
Excessive moisture, sweat, pressor on sitting, rubbing and scratching and
frequent loose stool, diabetes and yeast infection and Worm infection of intestine

You take following advice
1. Maintain hygiene after defecation, first wipe with simple plain tissue paper and wash properly with gentle warm water
2. Do not keep wet, dry the anal part with pure cotton towel
3. Change the inner wear after exercise and work out
4. Wear pure cotton loose underwear
5. Eat healthy diet with lots of fiber
6. Avoid constant sitting to minimize pressor.
7. Take warm water sitz bath
7. If not resolves
Then consult the physicain and go for stool test, blood sugar, CBC, ESR, anal swab test
You can apply prescribed steroid ointment: 1 % hydrocortisone plus clotrimazole ointment
Hope this may help you
