Anal Itching
Anal itch, also known as pruritus ani, is an
irritating, itchy sensation around the anus.
Anal itch is a symptom, not an illness, and it can have many different
causes. In most cases, a person with anal itch does not have a disease of the
anus or rectum. Instead, the itchy sensation is a sign that one or more of the
following has irritated the skin in the area:
-If the anal area isn't cleaned properly after a bowel
movement, a small amount of stool may be left behind on the skin, causing the
area to itch. Less often, watery stools may leak out of the anal opening and
cause itching.
A number of foods and drinks can irritate the anus.
(Spices and spicy foods, coffee, tea, cola, milk, alcoholic beverages,
chocolate, citrus fruits, vitamin C tablets and tomatoes)
-Some broad-spectrum antibiotics can trigger anal itch by disturbing the
normal ecology of the intestines.
-Anal itch can be triggered by scented toilet papers,
feminine hygiene sprays and other deodorants for the area around the anus or
genitals, medicated talcum powders, and medicated skin cleansers and soaps,
especially perfumed soaps.
-Cleaning after a bowel movement must be gentle.
Aggressive rubbing and scrubbing, especially with soaps or other skin
cleansers, can irritate the skin and trigger anal itch.

Anal itching may be associated with redness, burning and soreness. The
