HSV-1 AND HSV-2, Herpes lesions often start as numbness, tingling or ITCHING. This feeling indicates it is traveling up the nerve to the skin. There it causes small, inflamed and fluid filled blisters. These burst and crust over. (Similar to cold sores which are in effect another form of herpes).
I am not saying this is what you have but I would seriously advise a full sexual health check up.
Anal itching is one of the most common symptoms going!!!
You've probably got this poor kid all freaked out!
Yes, herpes COULD be a cause but so can an anal fissure, hemorrhoids, antibiotic use, diabetes and a host of other minor problems!
Granted an AIDS patient can get a yeast infection of the anus, BUT so can someone with diabetes or someone who has recently been taking antibiotics.
Alcohol can also cause this.
Poster, don't freak out. Wait another week to see if it stops. In the meantime wash your crack NORMALLY each day. Make sure it's dry after bathing. Use a mild body powder if you like. Wear boxers not briefs. No tight pants.
My God. Mention anal itching and right away you guys can only come up with HIV and herpes. Jeeez.
There are so many things that could cause this sort of thing, including drying soaps, some medications, and irritation caused by loose bowel movements. Meanwhile, the advice above regarding cleanliness, proper undergarments, and providing ample ventilation should help. And see your doc if it doesn't get better, of course.
As you say it COULD be any manner of thing. However, no matter WHAT it is, a full sexual check up will most certainly pin point it AND hasten the cure!
Look, excuse me for being so bold BUT, no way you should leave it. If it is nothing then I'll be happy for them BUT if it is "something" then the sooner it is diagnosed and treatment started, the better. You CANNOT leave these things too long and already we are talking 1 week!!!
you have HIV
your mom told me she feels the same :)
