Hello Sir,
Could it be irritation from cleaning with the toilet paper, constipation or hard stools, hemorrhoids or something else? Have you tried anything for this?

I believe the initial cause was recurring hemorrhoids in the last few months, I put a cream on a few days for this (anusol) when needed. I believe the hemorrhoids are now reabsorbed, but the problem persists (itching and burning feeling around the anus). Bowel movements are normal and regular (no constipation or diarrhea and I go at least once a day). I have not tried any other solution for the moment.

Thank you for the information!
To improve comfort, you can reapply Anusol Plus twice a day and after each bowel movement if needed. You can even try applying Vaseline without any problems.
I also suggest for the time being to ensure hygiene with wet wipes without perfume instead of toilet paper.
