Seeking Advice: Itchiness in Unusual Area After HSV-2 Diagnosis – Anyone Else?

I was diagnosed with HSV-2 last year. Although I haven’t had an outbreak as severe as my initial one, I've noticed occasional itchiness in the anal area since then. Initially, I suspected pinworms, but after taking Valacyclovir, the itchiness disappeared within a day.

I'm curious to know why I might experience itchiness there, especially since that wasn't the location of my initial outbreak. Has anyone else experienced something similar? Any insights would be greatly appreciated
