Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, Yes. I ve been experiencing anal itching that doesn t seem to go away. I ve tried several over the counter creams like Preparation H, dermasil, Desitine, but can t seem to get any relief from the itching. These symptoms started from a bad case of diarrhea which left me with swollen anal tissue like a hemorrhoid and I used Preparation H and it helped in reducing the swollen tissue but doesn t relieve the itching. I did notice last month my doctor treated me for Bronchitis with amoxicillin and the itching went away temporarily but has since come back with a vengeance. Not sure if there is any correlation with the Amoxicillen and the itching but I was itch free while taking it.
Hello Itching in the anal area and relieve , when took amoxycilin ( might have taken antihistamine also ), so antihistamine may have provided some relief in itching. But itching in and around anal area may be due to these possibilities, these include. 1 Hemorrhoids , diagnosis can be confirmed by physical examination by a doctor . 2 Eczematous dermatitis , this is most common cause of itching around anus due to soft skin . Physical examination will find out . 3 Worm infestation is another such cause . Diagnosis can be confirmed by blood as well as stool examination. Fissure in anus or allergy to under garments are other causes of such type of symptoms . In my opinion consult a physician and get his opinion as physical examination is important in such cases. Good luck.
