What causes itching inside the anus

If you feel itchy inside your anus, you must pay attention, because it may be a symptom of some disease in the anus. The cause of anal bleeding may be bacterial infection of the skin or internal hemorrhoids.

The main causes of anal itching are:

1. Fecal contamination of the skin around the anus can easily cause fecal particles to be fixed around the anus, making it difficult to clean and often causing itching. Especially for obese middle-aged and elderly people, the anus is deep or the anus is hairy.

2. Many people suffer from anal itching due to anorectal diseases. Such as hemorrhoids, anal fistula, anal fissure, anorectal tumors, and chronic diarrhea.

3. Some skin diseases can also affect the anus and cause anal itching. Such as lichen planus, anal eczema, etc.

4. Microorganisms around the anus: For example, pinworm infestation is often a common cause of anal itching in children. In recent years, it has been found that viral infections such as anal condyloma acuminatum and molluscum contagiosum can also cause anal itching.
