Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query (and sorry for a bit late due to network problem on my side)
(To recapitulate for my sake: age / sex not mentioned - history of Pruritis ani or 18 months -
no obvious reason for itching - lump close to anus a week ago on bum cheek - looked into mirror - saw the anus covered with red dots - anus completely purple - colonoscopy but no one said about hemorrhoids - seen photo with Calendula - bright purple.)
Please provide me further information regarding:
Treatment taken till today
Reports of blood, stool, urine, colonoscopy
Any information you would like to provide.
send as attachment as you have attached the photograph.
To discuss further:
The purple color is indicative of the following:
Congestion of the area
Inflammation of the area
Piles mass which is filled up
The red dots on anus can be due to:
Itching causing the skin problems
Infection secondary to procto-colitis
The lump could have been a boil / ingrown hair
The probable investigations and the treatment are:
-Investigations of blood and stool
-Stool checked on 3 different days as a single investigation may not give all the information.
-Colonoscopy - already done , please give reports.
Treatment Protocol:
Medicine against the worms and to be repeated after 15 days.
A course of an antibiotic and metronidazole with probiotics
Anti-itching tablets.
Vitamin A and D in therapeutic dosages and to be continued with Multivitamins.
Sitz bath
Oral steroids if required
If necessary an opinion of a Dermatologist and Gastroenterologist.
I hope by this time you must have taken some or all of the measures, please give me feedback so that I can assist you more.
