Hello doctor. My name is irshad from kerala state. I am 75 years old. These days I am having sever itching around anus. Sometimes I have this problem mildly and it will go without any medication. Now the severity is very high. I am very shy to approach a doctor. I shall be very thankful to you if you advice me a remedy for it. A friend told me to use ano-metrogyl cream. Is it helpful? Expecting your reply. Thank you.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. The itch in or around the anus is often intense and can be embarrassing and uncomfortable. Anal itching, also called pruritus ani (proo-rie-tus a-nie), has several possible causes. They include infections, hemorrhoids and ongoing diarrhea. Skin inflammation, also called dermatitis, is another cause. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a treatment plan for you.
