I too, have a problem with severe burning around the anus and vagina.
It appears to be worse when I pass gas, or have a bowel movement.
I have had back surgery (L-4 & L-5) disc removed. I am wondering
if it could b related. Surgery was years ago. To those who have a
problem itching around the anus....99 percent of the time, it is caused
from Pin Worms. 80% of the population is known to have them. The
quick remedy for that is garlic pills. Buy them cheap, orderless free,
at Walmart and take 3 or 4 a day. (nite and morning for children).
Also good for stomach aches in kids.
