What Causes Itching And Burning In Anus?
The last 3 days my butthole has been itching and.burning. or almost
Feels like, when I touch it, there's little cuts because it Burns but it itches
so bad. Reminds me of a yeast infection. I've also noticed I'm a lot gassier
then normal but I haven't had a bm since the day before yesterday.
Does this sound like hemorrhoids?

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
The history suggests me that your son may be having fungal infection which should be confirmed by physical examination.
The fungus are the normal commensals of the genitals and it can sustain for longer period of time in wet and poor hygiene areas.
For the present symptoms I would suggest you to follow
1. Keep the area dry and clean
2.Oral Terbinafine, 250mg,once a day for 2-4 weeks
3.Topical agents like clotrimazole need to be applied daily.
Thank you.
