What Causes Tickling, Crawling And Itchy Feeling In The Anal Area?
Hi,
I am a male 47 years old in good health. Over the past few weeks I have developed a tickly, crawly, itchy feeling in my anal area, I took a medication for thread worms about 10 dys ago but the sensations have not decreased.
Any ideas what I might be experiencing?
Regards, David.

Hi,
This can be due to passing worms from anal opening produce this type of sensation.
Having some local skin problem like irritation,skinlesion does cause this problem as well.
As you have taken medicine for worms, wait for some time to get complete relief from symptoms as it takes sometime to eradicate worms completely from intestinal tract.
Keep your nails well cut.
Ok and take care.
