Burning at anal opening
Hello,
Last 1-2 days I was having occasional burning at anal opening. I had spicy and hot food day before yesterday. Yesterday at night I went to the toilet and after that I had intense burning at the opening. I couldn't sleep and it was burning late till 2-3 in the night.
I went to a skin specialist today morning since there were no fissure like symptoms. The doctor checked it and said that it is just dryness of skin and not a fungal infection. He gave me two ointments to apply: Barrier and Paedisone-M to apply for 3 times a day and vitamin tablets.
I applied it once today and the burning is much better but it is still there a little. Is this the right diagnosis or it could be something else?
Thankyou

If the improvement is there and u r experiencing relief the medication is surely working. Improve ur diet and have more of fibre and avoid too much spices. Improve ur water intake.
