Having An Red Itch Around Anus That Does Not Go Away. Suppositories And Itch Cream Helps. Suggest?

Hopefully yes; i have been having an itch around the anus that i assumed was hemorroids ,i used suppositories and itch cream with some relief. Now i have a bright red raw itching around the anus that doesnt go away completely..i work a 12 hour shift and for most of it it is not bothersome. THE minute i get home and lie down the itching is intense and the area is raw red looking from the scratching .is there any other things i should be concerned about ? this is about month number 2 and im in pain and the itching comes and goes and so does the intensitiy. thanks

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
May be due to following reasons as,
1 Dermatitis , use steroid cream with salicylic acid .
2 hemorrhoids , consult a physician and get his opinion.
3 Worm infestation ( pin worm , most probably , this is the main cause).
Albendazole + ivermectine 12 mg once a day for three days will give you complete relief.

No 1 & 3 together will cure you .
Good luck.
Dr. HET
