Burning Sensation
Along with itching, tinea cruris may cause a burning sensation in affected areas, which in some cases can include the buttocks and anus.4‘Jock Itch (for Teens) - Nemours KidsHealth.’ Edited by Elana Pearl Ben-Joseph, KidsHealth, The Nemours Foundation, Mar. 2018, kidshealth.org/en/teens/jock-itch.html If jock itch is present in the anal area, a person may experience discomfort during bowel movements.
The burning sensation may be related to the infection itself, depending on how sensitive a person's skin is. Burning can also occur due to excessive scratching, which can cause significant skin irritation.
