HI Well com to HCM I really appreciate your concern, the symptom of anal itching is called "Pruritus ani" and the most common cause of this symptom would be pin worm infestation and in my opinion this need to be treated with Tab Mebendazole 100 mg once in week for three weeks, hope this information helps.
