Waking up with a rash, redness, irritation on the buttocks can create a lot of discomfort and even sometimes pain.
We have gathered below the most common conditions that can trigger irritations on children or adults’ anal area as well as a few advice on what to do if your butt’s itchy.
What Conditions Can Cause Anal Irritation?
The anal area in both children and adults remains a sensitive part of the body.

Contact Dermatitis
Contact dermatitis is a common condition that can happen when your skin comes in contact with an irritant substance. It can be triggered by soap, laundry detergent, lotion, or new underwear. It can also come from a substance in your you may be allergic to.
Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis)
Same as contact dermatitis, eczema is a skin inflammation that can also occurs on the buttocks and cause itchy, inflamed rash.
Yeast infection

Hemorroids are not a skin rash. They are swollen veins that can appear around the anus and cause intense pain and itching.
