Q. How to deal with itchy and painful anus?
Hi doctor,
I have itching in the anus with little pain, and I am applying Sucral Ano cream for one day. Sometimes I face constipation, but I faced these symptoms two years back. What do I need to do more? Do I need to take any antibiotics? Do I need to apply Elocon ointment there for itching?
Hello,
Please continue to apply Sucral Ano (Sucralfate and Metronidazole) twice a day for five to seven days. It should settle your problem.
For itching, please apply Calamine lotion once in the afternoon for one week.
For prevention:
1. Please drink 10 cups of fluids per day.
2. Eat a high-fiber diet.
3. If you are constipated, please take a stool softener syrup Looz 20 ml per night.
