What Is The Solution For Having Itching And Cracked Skin On Anus?
Hello i have and had cracked skin on my anus for almost 3 months now. I did go in to see a doc and what i have been using and still am using is not making the skin heal. As soon as is feels normal i itch it because i cannot resist and it just cracked more! Is there anything that you think that i can do to help this problem?

Thanks for query on HCM.
Cracked skin around anus suggest pattern of dry hard stool and causes anal fissure.
You have to take stool softener at every night to prevent the local abrasions and promotes healing.
Take oral medicines like ofloxacin,ornidazole and dewormin like albendazole,ivermectine.
Apply local cream and take sitz bath after passing stool and at also at bed time.
Sitz bath will be helpful by cleansing the affected area and increasing the flow of blood to it.
Take simple,liquid,high fiber diet.
Drink more water and other liquids like buttermilk,lemon water,coconut water,fruit juices and vegetable soups.
Keep regular follow up to your doctor for proper medical management.

Hi, Thanks for using HCM.
I went through your symptoms, it could be due to psoriasis or eczema of skin, which can be differentiated by physical examination of lesions. Consult a dermatologist for examination of lesions. topical steroid cream and anti histamines are required to reduce your symptoms.
Examination of stool for any worm infestation is required as few worm can cause itching around anus especially during night time.
Hope this helps you.
