I'm having severe severe severe itching in the entire anal area. The entire area is extremely sensitive and itching, including near my vagina. It is unbearable. I can't even touch it. Wiping with a wipe sends waves of excruciating itching throughout my entire body....kind of like pain waves when you stub your toe. I don't really know how to describe it as I never thought this kind of itching was possible. I used turmeric mixed with olive oil for about 3.5 days prior to this starting.The turmeric wasn't bothering me at all and then all of a sudden, bam. I don't know if it's the turmeric or something else. It is definitely not just the fissure. It feels like a yeast infection on steroids in my anal area.
I had also started taking a turmeric supplement.
I have now stopped everything. But it isn't getting better. I can't sleep. I am laying in bed in complete agony for 2 days now. I have an appt with my CRS tomorrow morning.
Has anyone else had a reaction to turmeric? Or have any idea what this could be?
