Perianal itching can be a typical symptom of hemorrhoids or anal fissures. However, there is also a chance that the continuing itchiness and pain point to a wound infection problem or other medical condition. Instead of a general visit, it might be better to consult a specialist like a gastroenterologist or proctologist.
