  Dear Patient,  Anal itching (pruritus ani) with dry skin can result from multiple causes, including fungal infections, parasitic infestations (like pinworms), contact dermatitis, or even underlying conditions like diabetes or hemorrhoids. While Dr. Rachna’s suggestions (antihistamines, deworming, and topical ointments) may provide temporary relief, improper use of steroid creams like Betnovate-C can worsen symptoms if misdiagnosed (e.g., in fungal infections).  Key Recommendations: 1. Avoid Self-Medication:     - Steroid creams should only be used after confirmation of diagnosis.     - Albendazole is unnecessary if worms aren’t confirmed via stool tests.  2. Initial Care:    - Wash the area gently with plain water (avoid soaps/perfumed products).     - Apply plain coconut oil or zinc oxide ointment to soothe dryness.     - Wear loose, cotton underwear and change twice daily.  3. Red Flags:    - If itching persists >2 weeks, bleeds, or has discharge, it may indicate infections (e.g., candidiasis), eczema, or STIs.  Next Steps: A **proctoscopy or stool test** may be needed to identify the exact cause. I recommend a **detailed consultation** to tailor treatment safely.  For further guidance, contact me on WhatsApp at **"Eight Zero Zero Nine Eight Two One Three Three Two"** to discuss your symptoms privately.

It looks like a fungal infection. Keep the area clean and apply abzorb powder after you use the washroom.
