Internal Anal Itching. Used Lotrimin. Any Recommendation?
Hello, I have internal anal itching. I have used lotrimin for two weeks straight, once to twice a day, kept clean briefs, and received no results. My doctor recommended that I do this. My question is what do you recommend? I have heard a cocktail of both types of antifungal lotrimin is optimal. Also, what do I do about the fact that it is internal itching, should I purchase some kind of applicator?

Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
It seems that you might be having worm infestation giving rise to internal itching.
Go for stool test for ova and cyst.
Take one course of anti worm treatment.
If your doctor diagnosed as fungal infection then along with local application go for oral anti fungal medicine like Flucanazole 150 mg once in a week for 4 weeks.
Keep local part dry and healthy.
Ok and bye.
