What Causes Itching In The Anus?
I have a small crack at the entry to my anus and it stings when I go to the toilet. I also had small hemarroid last week which I treated and I think has gone. I haven t had a lot of itching but just a slight feeling of maybe worms? My grandson had them recently. Could they cause the stinging? I have been using a hemarroid cream and don t know whether tokeep using it or try worm treatment of go to the doctor

Hi,
If your grandson has lately suffered from worms it is possibly the cause of your symptoms. I suggest you to do a stool test to confirm the diagnosis and take worn treatment like Albendazole.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
