Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood your concerns.
Itchy anus can be due to the following reasons:
Local dermatitis.
Due to intestinal infections spreading to the anal area.
This can be diagnosed by the following ways and get treated properly:
Get the stool and blood tested.
Get a per-rectal digital examination, ano-proctoscopy.
This will give an idea about the possible cause and a course of an antibiotic, metronidazole and probiotics should solve your problem.
Apply liquid povidone iodine locally.
Keep the area clean and dry.
Avoid hot and humid atmosphere.
About the backache: can be due to muscle spasms or some spinal problem and an opinion of an Orthopedic Surgeon can help you to get an appropriate diagnosis and management.
