Has anyone ever experienced burning rectal sensations? Like it feels like your butt is really damp and hot. I have skin tags there and the doctor did a rectal and said it looks like some internal hemmroids

Should i ask to see a specialist or what about bowel x-rays?

Yes! I do get burning sensations, along with a strange smell that I'm almost positive is coming from my anal area. I've been to a colo/rectal surgean and he didn't say anything about skin tags but I have heard that skin tags are a sign of a chronic anal fissure. What is you whole situation? Have you gotten anything solved? I know this burning sensation is very annoying but it's not as bad as the smell.

I have the same thing. I have had tests and the doctor says it's nerve pain. I think it's from all the bike riding I did for years. It's worse if I sit down for a long period of time. At times it can be very annoying.

ya the smell is the big problem. Doctors have no clue haha.

I got to wait until nov 4 to get the scope to check the insides. Rick same thing for me sitting for long periods makes it worse, what tests did u have?

I had the sigmoidoscopy. He couldn't find anything wrong so he assumes it's nerve pain. I tried nerve pain medication for awhile but I didn't want to stay on it forever. I have learned if I don't aggravate it to much it's not to bad. Sitting on my lazy boy or laying on my side or standing doesn't aggravate it. Sitting in the normal position does.
