I have a NSFW hygiene question (REALLY NSFW question)?

I’m afraid that you have what doctors call “hemorrhagic chapped anus syndrome,” or HCAS.
HCAS affects ALL people, who eat ultra-processed food.
Unfortunately. That is the only, affordable food…

@MrGrimm888 Can we take conversation ro PM?

Chap stick, is mostly petroleum jelly.
That shouldn’t hurt.
Before applying anything, make sure the area is very clean and dry.
I’m tempted to suggest Preparation H type stuff.

I’d rather you get medical advice, from a doctor. However. Since it’s been happening for years, I suspect it’s not too serious.

It may be ideal, to wipe with aloe kleenex. Obsessive wiping, will dry the mucous membranes out.

But in all seriousness, it’s likely a combination of diet, and your bathroom habits.
I believe genetics, play somewhat of a role. As I know people who have a similar problem, or at least similar symptoms. They claim their fathers had it too…

@MrGrimm888 Can we take conversation to PM?

I would say talk to the doctor.

Have you had a colonoscopy lately?
