The anus is the opening at the lower end of the gastrointestinal tract through which feces get eliminated from the body. Anal itching refers to the itching at the anus and the skin surrounding the anus. Anal itching is medically called Pruritus Ani and is a common condition. Usually, anal itching gets worse at night and after the passing of stool. In some cases, there may also be burning and redness around the anal area. Scratching of the anal area may lead to cracks and raise the chances of local infection.
Anal itching can be treated successfully with homeopathic medicines. Homeopathic treatment for anal itching helps cure anal itching using medicines that are prepared from naturally occurring substances. Hence, these medicines are safe to use for people of all ages.

Causes for Anal Itching
Anal itching is a symptom not a disease, and can arise due to various reasons. It can arise simply from eating very spicy food, peppers, caffeine and chocolates, use of certain soaps or lotions and due to improper hygiene of the anal area. While in other cases, several medical conditions are linked with it. These commonly include pinworms, piles and anal fissures. Pinworms are tiny worms causing enterobiasis. Piles are dilated, enlarged, swollen, inflamed veins in or around the anus or in the lower rectum. Anal fissures refer to a tear / cut in the anus. The other causes include anal fistula and genital warts. Anal fistula is a small tunnel having an internal opening in the anal canal and an external opening in the skin that surrounds the anus. Genital warts are caused by sexually transmitted infection caused by Human papilloma virus causing warts on genitals or anus.
Yeast infection is another reason for anal itching. Diabetes mellitus predisposes a person to yeast infection. Continuous moisture around the anus from sweat or loose stool is another reason for anal itching. Other causes of anal itching include skin tags; taking strong antibiotics; use of some ointments around the anus; skin problems like eczema (chronic skin condition causing inflamed, itchy skin). In some cases, there is no particular cause for anal itching. This condition is called Idiopathic Pruritus Ani.

Hi Dr,
I’m 25 years old and am suffering from idiopathic Pruritis Ani for the past 2 years. I had low b12 which was diagnosed by my endocrinologist. B12 deficiency affects the nerves and I’m concerned that the nerve damage I experienced is at the anus. There is itchiness after I pass stools. It is important for me to sleep overnight so I don’t feel itchy. Otherwise I would feel itchy if I walk around. Any advise?
Regards,
TPD
