How to treat anal itching? It turns out to be like this

Many people have experienced anal itching, which is often embarrassing. In fact, there are many reasons that can cause anal itching in daily life, and of course there are many ways to solve anal itching. Let us take a closer look at the specific methods of treating anal itching!

How to effectively solve anal itching?

1. Avoid inappropriate self-treatment. Many patients with anal pruritus are reluctant to go to the hospital for treatment and adopt inappropriate self-treatment, such as scalding with hot water, applying high-concentration corticosteroids or drugs containing antagonists, purchasing some crude home therapy devices for self-treatment, etc. These methods have more disadvantages than advantages and can only temporarily suppress itching. Over time, the disease will persist and worsen. Patients should be advised to stop using them.

2. Pay attention to hygiene and do not eat or eat less irritating food, such as spicy food, strong tea and coffee, strong liquor, etc. Clothes should be loose and fit well. Underwear should be made of cotton. Make sure to dry them in the sun. Drying underwear indoors will hardly have a sterilizing effect.

3. Find out the problem, wipe the itchy area with a sterilized cotton swab, and keep it dry. Wear loose clothing and stop taking foods and medications that may cause allergies.

4. Children and the elderly should pay attention to the cleanliness of the anus, clean the skin around the anus frequently, change underwear frequently, and prevent constipation.

5. Sit less and move more to avoid stuffiness and humidity in the lower body which may cause bacterial growth.

Experts warn: Too hot water will irritate the anal skin, causing increased secretions and exudate, aggravating the local skin's inflammatory response, and making the condition incurable for a long time. Do not buy some anti-itching drugs on your own. You can use Tibetan medicine Binghuangfule ointment, more than 4 times a day. Except for very rare allergic reactions, it can be used repeatedly for a long time. Corticosteroid creams such as Fulecone and dexamethasone can be used for a short time in the acute phase. If there is a lot of exudate, 5% boric acid solution can be used topically to relieve symptoms.
