Irritation behind anus

Yeah. It can sting for sure. And I was on tetracycline which kills good bacteria in the body and can cause yeast infections. Again, though, I am not ready yet to jump to any conclusions.

New development is that I checked 'down there' and i have a red line, almost like where irritated skin "split", from the bottom of the tailbone down for a few centimetres, not perfectly centred but yeah... whatever that means. No identifiable "cyst" per se. I applied Triple Antibiotic ointment again this morning, which, as per usual, helps soothe the area.

Thanks for all the help everyone :). Keep it coming :)
 
Very helpful advice, especially interested by the possibility of there being some reaction to the tetracycline.

Someone also suggested yeast infection of the area?

And a new development is that I looked and starting below the tailbone and going for about two centimetres downward there is a red line, almost like where irritated skin had "split" and it seems that is where the blood on toilet paper is coming from. Triple Antibiotic Ointment always soothes it when I apply it.

Also, can I get an over-the-counter ointment like the one I am currently using, or must I see a doctor? I am not embarrassed as much as don't have any time to see a doctor currently, and am away from my home city where my family doctor is located.

Thanks again!
 
That sounds exactly like what I get sometimes and it is yeast. The red line and burning when water gets on it sounds just like what I get. Go get some over the counter 7 day cream for vaginal yeast infections and apply to the area for 7 days and see if it goes away.
