Hello,
Do not to touch or scratch at the anus. To reduce itching, you can apply ointment hydrocortisone on the affected area. Applying ointment Piloherb is also effective as it reduces pain, itching and burning sensation. Take sitz bath 2-3 times a day. Control your diet. Avoid intake of oily, spicy hot food. Instead take, homemade nutritious food that is well cooked and easily digestible.
Avoid taking red meat & food that causes constipation. Take laxatives & suppositories for easy bowel movement. Take adequate amount of water and fluids to help yourself stay well hydrated. Get clinically examined by a Urologist/GP if symptoms persist. You may need a course of antibiotics and get few tests done.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
