Could Itchy Buttocks And Scabies Be Caused By Hemorrhoid?

This is a possible multi-symptom/cause question. I (37yo female)recently (within this present week) developed a self-diagnosed hemorrhoid (I could feel the bump near the anus and had blood with wiping). Accompanying that was slight vaginal itch and now intense points of itching on the buttocks (upper and lower) and genital area. I have had scabies before and this itching feels the same, but there are no visible signs...no redness, burrow lines, or scabs. I still have left over Permethrin 5%. Question: can hemorrhoids cause all these symptoms or is it possible I have scabies again (no one I am in physical contact with has it...don t know where it came from)? I have washed all bedding and towels in hot water and have applied the permethrin within the last 24hrs. How long should I wait to see results or see a doctor? Thank you!

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids can cause itchiness, so in my opinion the symptoms are not related to scabies. I suggest using an anti hemorrhoid cream for local application such as Proctis. I also suggest soaking for several minutes a day.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
