"   Question I have anal itching that gets worse at night.  I also bleed around the anus.  It sometimes hurts when I go to the toilet. I&amp;#039;ve also noticed a very small &amp;#039;pit&amp;#039; on my anus which I can only describe as volcano shape.  Is it piles? Can it be cured with creams?   Answer By &amp;#039;pit&amp;#039;, do you mean a small hole? If so, this is either a small abscess or what we call a &amp;#039;fistula&amp;#039; \u2013 or a &amp;#039;fissure&amp;#039;. It is unlikely to be a pile.  You are best to get a proper diagnosis so you can get the proper treatment rather than just trying creams, so you need to see your GP and be examined.
