Patient's question:
I always get some eczema around the anus after each menstrual period ends, because of long-term lack of ventilation. It itches quite severely, and there's also a somewhat strong odor between the legs. Is there any way to treat perianal eczema? Can eczema cream be applied around the anus?Doctor's answer:
Perianal eczema requires topical medication treatment, including topical medication sitz baths, applying ointments, and oral medications. During treatment, dietary control is necessary, focusing on light and nutritious food, avoiding alkaline detergents, and maintaining regular bowel movements to prevent constipation. It is also important to change underwear frequently and keep the anal area clean and dry. Additionally, patients should visit a proctology department for a thorough examination to address the underlying causes of anal diseases, which will yield better results.
