Cause And Cure For Anal Itching

I have anal itching and butt crack irritation & don t know the cause. I ve had loose fecal at times due to dairy intolerance. I ve firmed up my stool now. My anus has skin tags (a doctor s observance) and itches all the time including up the butt crack with a crack at the very top. I use a wet wipe after a bowel movement and do use a soap in the area when showing. To calm the itching and cool down the burning sensation I use Preparation H on the anus and Hydrocortisone 1%. Nothing really relieves it. It s also uncomfortable to sit at work. What should a do to make it better and back to normal?

Infectious Diseases Specialist 's  Response
Hello,
Thank you for your contact to healthcare magic.
I understand your health concern, if I am your doctor I suggest you that avoid using steroid cream. Use diluted savlon solirion instead to mop up after a bowel. Take good cleanliness locally. If infection is suspected use polysporin ointment at the wound area. Nothing much is required that that of.

I will be happy to answer all your future concern.
Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
Infectious disease specialist.
Wish you a best health at health care magic.
