How To Heal Anal Itch?

Hello Doctor, I have consulted dermatologist as I have been suffering from itching around anus. My Dr prescribed me syscan-150 capsules twice a week and also gave me canesten-s cream and onabet cream to apply on infected area, but after completion of course I still didn t have much improvement. In fact I have itching sensation in my penis from over one week. I am keeping my private parts very clean but my itching gets worst wen I sweat. Please kindly suggest what will help? Thanks Nilesh

Hi,

As per your complaint, it seems that itching in the anus can be due to causes like poor hygiene maintenance, over wiping or cleaning, dryness in the anal area, pin-worm infection, yeast infection, contact dermatitis or allergic reaction, hemorrhoids, anal fissures etc. You should consult a proctologist and get evaluated and proper diagnosis and treatment of the underlying cause can relieve the symptoms. As of now you should keep the area clean but avoid vigorous wiping. Wash the area gently with water and a mild moisturizer based soap.

You should apply Zinc oxide based ointment or Petroleum jelly over the area. Wear loose fitting and cotton undergarments. You can also apply steroid ointment to relieve itching but do not use for a long duration for more than ten days to two weeks. You should avoid scratching the area to prevent infection. You can then be diagnosed for pin-worm infection also along with other possible causes and treatment can be done accordingly.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora, Dentist
