Based on what you've shared that your tests have come back clear and there's no sign of anything serious, like cancer. Anal itching can have many causes, and in most cases, it's not related to cancer. Some common reasons for anal itching include:
Hemorrhoids â Even if you donât see them, hemorrhoids can cause irritation and itching.
Skin Irritations â This can be from soaps, wipes, laundry detergents, or even tight clothing.
Infections â Fungal or yeast infections can lead to itching in the anal area.
Poor Hygiene â While cleaning too much or too little can cause irritation.
Dietary Factors â Spicy foods, caffeine, and alcohol can sometimes irritate the area.
Allergies â An allergic reaction to certain materials or substances can also be a culprit.
If the itching persists or gets worse, or if you start noticing new symptoms like pain, bleeding, or changes in your stool, it's always good to follow up with a general surgeon for further evaluation. But from what you've described, it seems unlikely that it's related to cancer. Itâs always a good idea to keep monitoring the situation and reach out to a surgeon for peace of mind.
