Suggest Treatment For Stomach Bloating And Anal Itching
Hi, I have a persistent problem with bloating and anal itching. My anus and surrounding area has lost pigmentation. I ve tried anti fungal tablets, changed my washing habits to a ph neutral bar, I ve stopped using wet wipes, tried milk alternatives, used aloe Vera, and though the itching has subsided a little, the affected area of skin and bloating continues. Do you have any idea what might be wrong with me. I m lacklustre and want to sleep a lot too.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Anal itching can sometimes occur with parasitic infection of the gastrointestinal tract.
You may need to consider a stool sample to the lab to determine if an infection is present.
If identified then anti parasitic medication can be used for treatment.
I hope this helps
