My skin around the anus is white, rough and itchy. What causes it?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Please attach the picture of the lesion. Please say whether you have pain, discharge, or anything oozing out, burning sensation, itching and aggravation during night time, and difficulty in passing stools. You can use Emoderm cream twice daily for ten days, Luliconazole cream at night for fourteen days, and tablet Wicet 5 mg (Levocetirizine) twice daily for seven days. Kindly follow up.

It is a fungal infection. You can use Luliconazole cream twice daily for fifteen days and tablet Wicet 5 mg twice daily for fifteen days, tablet Terbinafine 250 mg once a day for 15 days. You can use Fucidin cream in the evening for ten days and take tablet Zifi 200 mg twice daily for five days (if the lesion is oozing). Do not use Emoderm. Add some neem leaves in the bathwater or any antiseptic liquid-like Dettol or Savlon in the bathwater. Keep the area dry. Do not scratch or rub the lesion because it can cause secondary bacterial infection. You do not share your belonging with anyone. Try to wash your clothes separately. Try to wear loose inners and clothes. Avoid sweating as the fungus grows faster in moist, humid, and wet conditions.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

The lesion has improved a lot. It takes two to three months to get healed. Please mention from when you have it again and how many weeks do you have it. Kindly mention whether you have itching, oozing, dryness, or extreme itching. Please say whether you do excess scratching and rubbing of the lesion.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I suggest you use Fucidin cream in the evening for ten days, use Luliconazole cream twice daily in the morning and night for fifteen days. You can take tablet Wicet 5 mg two times a day (when itching). You can take tablet Terbinafine 250 mg once a day for fifteen days. Try to keep the area as much as possible. You should wear loose and comfortable inners and clothes. Avoid scratching over it. You can take antiseptic precautions. You can take an antiseptic bath (add neem leaves in the bathwater or any antiseptic liquid-like Dettol or Savlon in the bathwater). Do not use hot water. Try to use lukewarm water while bathing. Try to wash your clothes separately and do not share your belongings. Have a follow up for any doubts. It is good to continue the same treatment for fifteen days again to know whether the lesion is getting improved. Let us hope for the nest. Take care.
