Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
What is the time of itching and what medications your mother has already taken?
First of all need to see that area for any swelling, pus discharge, and redness because fistulas can also cause itching and infection of pinworm (Enterobius vermicularis) can also cause this.
Take tab Mebendazole. If cure can't be achieved after 3 weeks repeat the dose. Get her blood CP done.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Rehana Kousar
