For the past week I have had a tickling and burning sensation around my anus and surrounding area my first thoughts were threadworms so when I itched I took a look which lead to another discovery I have irritable bowel and constantly go through a cycle of constipation and diarhea upon Looking to see if I seen anything i discovered I had hemorrhoids and they were very swollen and there was a lot of what I assume is mucus.

This leads to were I am now I am unsure if I am itchy because the hemmorhoids are very swollen and the tickling is mucus leaking I do not have a persistent itch which I believe threadworms cause it last a few seconds and then is gone and feels more like leaking mucus and damp and any itch I do get is not around the anus it also occurs during the day which I believe they shouldnt. The area around my anus really burns on my buttcheeks they feel like they are on fire but no sign of rash or irritation which also makes me think it maybe be thrush or some skin infection

I really don't know what to think as symptoms seem to overlap with multiple different conditions does anyone have any idea what might be causing this I'd realy appreciate any thoughts
