Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have rectal itch that wont go away. I have been to doctors and haven't got any significant improvements. I've used Calmoseptine and hydrocortisone acetate suppositories (25 mg). They helped but symptoms returned when I stopped using them. I've also tried zinc oxide crème with little improvement. Any suggestions?
Rectal itch is usaually due to irritation of the sensitive skin around it. can be due to 1. Unhygiene. Cleanliness daily during bathing helps 2. Worm infestation. Worms lay there eggs around the anus during the night time and there secretion irritate the skin leading to itching. I would recommend deworming. Tablet Albendazole 3. undergarment fitting. try a diiferent brand
Hope it help you STAY FIT
