Please no rude comments. Only seeking some advice or if anyone has had a similar situation so I know what to say when I book the doctors appointment. Basically I gave birth just over a year and a half ago. Everything healed fine (episiotomy). Around 6/7 months PPartum I started to become really itchy around the anus (the skin between my vagina opening and my anus). I immediately thought it was worms so follow everything single piece of advice and it still carried on despite having no worms in my poo and the itching occurring more at night. I thought maybe it’s my detergent, it isn’t because I’ve used the same one for the past 4 years now and had no issues. I’m now at a loss and it’s getting worse and worse. I can’t go to the toilet without it becoming itchy, I scratch it in my sleep, i can’t have sex or foreplay without it bothering me. It gets to the point where I’ve scratched so hard I’ve made my self bleed. I change my underwear twice (once in the morning and then at night). I shower regularly (no soap comes into that area) I literally don’t know what it could be. I thought maybe piles but I don’t have any other symptoms. The itching becomes so sore and can go all the way up to my bum crack.I darent tell my OH because I’m so embarrassed. I do have Psoriasis on my scalp, at one point I had it on my boobs during breastfeeding and under my eyes.
I want to go to the doctors, I need to but just wanted to see if there was anyone with something similar.
I apologise for the pictures
The skin that is red and looks like two little flaps are the bit between my vagina and anus 😫
