    Doesn't look like herpes to me. Hemorrhoids can cause itchiness on the anus and anal fissures

      thank you JustKasey for your reply. It doesnt seem to match the pictures or timelines ive seen online, but of course my anxiety gets to me. i will see a doctor about possible hemorrhoids and provide an update after.
