Suggest Treatment For Persistent Itchy Anus

For over a year now, I have had a very itchy anus both on the outter part of my hole and inner. I also now for the past couple months have had itching consistently on my genital area, more so towards my gooch and crevest/inner part of my thigh closes to my sack and now on the lower part of my sack. I have tried all the over the counter jock itch medicines, and applied cortizone creams in the areas. There s an unpleasant smell that comes with all this too, no matter how many times a day I shower. I ve have STD checks and have been declared clean every time. Please help this is starting to affect my everyday life.

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Well, after going through your description, it appears that itching sensation what you are having could be due to two reasons:
1. Pin worm infection
2. Fissures in anal cavity

For pin worm infection, get your stool examined for the parasite or eggs. If it is positive, then you need to take Tablet.Albendazole 400 mg Orally once and repeat again in 2 weeks.

If stool examination doesn't have parasites, you need to get examined by a Surgeon for fissures and treated accordingly.

In the mean time, for itching to get controlled, you can take Tablet.Levocetrizine 10mg once a day.

Hope the information provided would be useful.
Wish you good health and speedy recovery.
