Question: What is anal pain and itching?

Ask
Hello doctor! According to my research online as well as monitoring I feel that I am having an anal fissure due to the last time I went to the toilet, the stools are hard and big. After that, I noticed cracks around the anus causing pain when standing, sitting or doing other things. The next time I went to the bathroom, it became more and more painful, like it was about to tear, making me very afraid of going to the toilet. By the evening of the next day, I felt very itchy around the anus but not hot, very similar to the symptoms of worms. But I just took the dewormer about 2 months ago, so I don't think I can get it. So the doctor asked me what is the pain and itching in the anus? I hope the doctor can help me.
