Patient's question:
My there has been some discomfort from itching these days. Every time I go to the bathroom, I can't wipe my buttocks because it won't stop once I start. It's really the case that the more I scratch, the itchier it gets. Now, I wash with clean water every night, but what's causing the itching around my? Is there a good solution?Doctor's answer:
Itching in the anal area may likely be caused by inflammation of the anus or rectum. This condition is generally not serious, so you don't need to worry too much. You can start by cleaning the anal area with plain water daily. If the itching persists, you can also use an anti-inflammatory solution for cleaning. During the day, make sure to eat more easily digestible foods and maintain good hygiene by keeping the anal area clean and hygienic.
