Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I've got an extremely itchy anus as well as perineum, and no matter what I do it won't go away. I've had it for about a year now, but it's starting to get worse, and it mainly happens when I'm trying to sleep. I've checked my stool for worms but I see nothing.. what's causing the itch?
Your symptoms seem to be related to a candida infection.
Some advice that I can give to you is: - Use antifungal cream - Try prescribed antifungal medication like fluconazole - Wash and dry the area - Use cotton underwear
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi
