What Causes Itching Sensation In Anus Inspite Of Using Lotrimin?
A month ago I started having very bad itching that felt like it was right inside my anus. It would itch the most when sweating or when it was hot out. I had my girlfriend take a pic to see what it looked like and it looks like there are these yellow balls of something growing right inside my anus. They can be wiped away by toilet paper or washed away in the shower. They also seem to be emitting a discharge because sometimes ill basically sweat out of my anus even though I m not sweating anywhere else. I tried Lotrimin anti fungal starting two weeks ago, putting it on once per day but that hasn t really helped. It now burns occasionally with less itching. Also, I was on antibiotics for whooping cough about a week before the itching all started. Could this be a fungus?

Hi
You need to be clinically examined inorder to identify the cause.Anal warts, tumours, anal fistula could be some of the causes of the bumps or swelling on anus.
Parasitic worm infestations like pinworm infections is also a possibility which should be ruled out. Antifungal drugs may not be effective in such conditions.Complete blood count should be taken to rule out any abnormalities.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
