What causes anal itching?

Anal pruritus (peritus ani, PA) is a common local pruritus. The anus sometimes feels slightly itchy. If the itching is severe and does not heal for a long time, it becomes pruritus. It is a common localized neurological dysfunctional skin disease. It is usually limited to the area around the anus, but may spread to the perineum, vulva or behind the scrotum. It mostly occurs in middle-aged and elderly people aged 20 to 40, less frequently in young people under 20 years old, and rarely in children. This pruritus is more common in men than in women, and is more common in people who are quiet and do not exercise often. Secondary pruritus has obvious causes and is easy to treat; spontaneous or unexplained PA is difficult to cure and often recurs, accounting for about 50% of all patients. Anal pruritus is more common in middle-aged people. Some are local symptoms of systemic pruritus, which are more common in the elderly.
