Common Causes and Treatments of Anal Itching

Too Moist, Too Dry, Washed too much?
Our skin does not tolerate excess. Too much moisture, dryness or too much attention can lead, especially in an area that is almost always covered up, to irritation. If the skin in the anal area is too dry look at possible causes. It could be that you may be washing the area but not rinsing properly; are you washing too often or using chemical irritants such as soaps, scented bleached tissues or bubble baths products, some of which can irritate? Changing the detergent in which you wash your clothes is a common cause of itching.

Too much moistness may be a result of the same chemical irritants causing anal itching. Excessive sweating, fecal or urinary incontinence may mean you need to use a barrier cream to stop irritation. Use creams that are used for babies as they are mild and will not contain damaging chemicals or drugs such as hydrocortisone. Try not to scratch, it will just cause damage to the skin that then cause itching as they heal, a vicious circle.

Foods causing anal itching
Some foods can be an irritant to your digestive system as well as your anus, heavily spiced foods, some vegetables and fruits such as tomatoes, oranges, chocolate or excessive amounts of fiber can all lead to irritation. Some people have food intolerances that cause irritation and /or diarrhea. Try omitting one possible cause at a time so you can work out what type of food is the cause, then cut it out of your diet or restrict your intake. You may need to seek advice from a doctor who can refer you to a dietician if there is no disease underlying the cause of your problem.

Laxatives can cause anal itch
Overuse of laxatives causes irritation, especially as some laxatives are very powerful. If you are young and have no medical condition you should not need to use them at all. Make changes to your diet and add more fiber. Similarly, older people should look at upping their fiber intake to avoid their long term use. Consult your doctor if constipation is a recent problem as it could indicate there is a medical reason for it that requires attention.

Clothes can cause anal itching
Cotton underwear or natural fibres can be healthier for your rear-end as they have a certain amount of absorbency. Synthetic material can cause sweating which can cause itching.

Anal Itching can be caused by disease
Disease can cause anal itching. Diseases include:

Hemorrhoids (Piles) cause anal itching
Piles are a common cause of anal itching. There are many over the counter creams and lotions from your pharmacy that can help. Witch hazel applied to the external anal area with cotton wool can be very soothing.

Anal abrasions causing anal itching
Abrasions that are present for what ever reason, scratching, rubbing or trauma, will cause severe itching. Treat the area gently and keep it clean. If you keep damaging the area it will not get the chance to heal.

Medication can cause anal itching
There are a lot of medications, such as antibiotics, with side effects that can cause anal itching because they cause diarrhea. If the long term medication you are on is causing any side effects always go see your doctor. He may be able to change the drug type.

Skin Conditions causing anal itching
Psoriasis, dermatitis, eczema, any skin disease requires the attention of your doctor. A specialist dermatologist may be the best person to treat the skin condition that is affecting your anal area causing itching. The creams and lotions used to sort out the problem usually contain drugs such as cortisone that need to be prescribed and monitored to avoid side effects that can cause long term problems.

Yeast Infections causing anal itching
Some diseases and medications cause yeast infections, HIV, diabetes, antibiotics.

Anal Tumours
In rare cases anal itching can be the result of anal tumours. Although some will not be cancerous it is important to seek an accurate diagnosis to get the appropriate treatment.

Anal Fissures and Tears can cause anal itching
Often caused by stretching the muscle around the anal opening during defecation anal tears and fissures can be very painful. Requires medical attention to find out the cause and to monitor treatment and progress.
