I'm new on this forum and I'm glad I found it.
I know its a small community but I just want to thank you all for sharing your experiences on this sensitive problems and helping other people a lot.
Now, back to the topic... I'm 27 years old male, healthy and in amazing shape and condition... Always watch on diet, drink a lot of water and eat vegetables and fiber reach foods because of my six packs ABS.
Never had any rectal problems, before two weeks... It all started with unbearable Itchy skin around anus. It is so Itchy that sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and feel the need to scratch it. I don't have any pain during or after bowel movement. Anyway, since then I googled a lot of conditions and found out that anal fistula looks exactly like itchy red spots on my skin (see attached photos below). I read a lot about anal fistulas and the one thing that's different is that anal fistulas go deep inside the skin (It's a tunnel), but in my case, this red spots are only on the surface, It looks like my skins just cracks and wound is not deep (I don't have a tunnel). How is it possible that I get multiple fistulas over night, without any abscess and pain at all? Also I'm confused why I get this fistulas / cracks in my skin when I lead healthy life and no one had it in my family... Also I take very good hygiene and wash immediately after every bowel movement.Since I read on the internet about fistulas, and how only surgery can solve them, I am terrified.
I'm sorry for the attached photos, but picture is worth a thousand words...
I just want to make sure do I have anal fistulas or Its something else?
I'm desperate for diagnosis, thanks in advance for reply and help.
