Suggest Remedy For Itchy Anus
Hello, I m jack 22years, I m suffering from itchy anus since few days, it itches the most after passing stool. I m trying to keep that part very hygienic by cleaning with water as it becomes wet(never used to be before) may be by sweat or excretion of some fluid. I think I might have scratched it roughly while in sleep that from today I m experiencing a kind of pain or burning which is enough to take away my sleep.Please advice me on this. Thank you.

Hello dear
Understand your concern.
Yes it may be due to injury to anus by scratching.
It also associated with other factors like:
Excessive moisture, sweat, pressor on sitting, rubbing and scrathing
Frequent loose stool aggravate itching
More in diabetes
Yeast infection
Food: excessive chocolate,spicy food
Worm infection of intestine
You take following advice
1. Maintain hygiene after defecation, first wipe with simple plain tissue paper and wash properly with gentle warm water
2. Do not keep wet, dry the anal part with pure cotton towel
3. Change the inner wear after exercise and work out
4. Wear pure cotton loose inner wear
5. Eat healthy diet with lots of fiber
6. void constant sitting to minimize pressor.
7. If not resolves
You can apply steroid ointment: 1 % hydrocortisone
Or apply clotrimazole ointment
Or consult to doctor and do test for all above causes.
Hope this may help you
Best regards
Dr. Sagar

Hello,
Itching around anus commonly caused by either
1. Worm infestation
2. Fungal infection.
I advice you to take Tab. Albendazole 200mg single dose.
Apply Candid B lotion at that area
Keep that area clean and dry.
