What Causes Itching Outside The Anus?

Age 30, 5.5, health history good. Never had such a recent infection: It is smooth inside the anus but near the rim. Itching and sometimes it feels like there is something crawling out. May I know the name of the infection/disease and well, whatever you want to advise me from your good heart. Thanks.

3. you may take tab albendazole 400 mg one tab stat.
4. also, you may take levocetrizine twice a day for itching.
