Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
Possible causes of itching anus may include:
-Local anal infection by a fungus
-Hemorrhoid(pile)
-Local irritation or allergy
-Rectal masses
I will suggest you try the following:
*Use an antihistamine cream like benadryl locally
*A steroid like dexamehtasone orally for 5 days.
*Good genital/anal hygiene.
If symptoms persist, you see a Proctologist for evaluation and if need be, a rectoscopy.
Hope this will help
Best regards
