Hi.
I am a 23 year old male. Have had a problem of constipation for all of my life (that I remember of) and had to deal with it. Also, last year I was diagnosed with Duodenal ulcers and minor Diaphragmatic Hernia (organs are where they belong) and took medications.
Recently, as a constipation remedy, I tried an anal candle (a laxative to be used through the anus) and, probably, used 3 of them (as 1 didn't help) at once.
Starting from here I have had anal itching (not sure it is related); I observed that only one part of the anus has hardened considerably and is itchy; the rest of it is fine. It stays hardened even when the itchiness is not present.
I have had this condition for the last two weeks now.
What could be the reason?
Thanks.
