Suggest Remedies For Severe Itching On Buttocks And Rectum With Small Lumps
Question: I'm a 61 year old male in good shape. For about 4 months i've had itching on my buttocks near my rectum. It is getting extremely itchy and small lumps similar to mosquito bites are there.
Brief Answer:
Fungal infection
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query.
Probably you have developed fungal infection.
The perianal area is a common site for this.
Another reason can be pin worm infestation.
I treat such cases with a topical antifungal cream like clotrimazole to be applied twice daily for a month.
Also take tablet albendazole 400 mg single tablet for worm infestation.
This should help you.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
