What Can Cause Anal Itching?

Hi, I recently had a treatment of staph infection on my right knee. At the time I experienced some anal itching. Its been about 1.5 months since I stopped taking antibiotics but I am now experiencing anal itching. Could it be a recurrence of this infection?

Hi,

If your itching still persists, it can be due to parasitic infection. Doing a stool routine can help diagnosing the cause. Also, check for blood sugar.

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