Hi,

i have recently been experiencing an uncomfortable itching sensation in my anus area. I used to suffer from this quite frequently as a child, but this had disappeared up to about two weeks ago. I'm now finding that after my first motion of the day I get this itchy feeling which pretty much lasts on and off the rest of the day.
Now it could be piles, but I always thought that was a physical "pile" around the anus -which I don't have, and difficulty in going to the toilet - which, again, I don't have a problem with. I also east a fairly sensible diet and exercise regulary.

Could someone please confirm if indeed this is, (or is not!), piles and how I could treat it.

Thanks. :)
