Anal itching (Pruritus ani) 4 year

2017-10-14 23:45:31
I am having Anal itching (Pruritus ani) since 4 years. Skin specialist consulted me to apply sofradex cream during flare up. But the cream seems to have discontinued. Is there any alternative to this cream ? (Containing Dexamethasone)

You have become addicted to sofradex which is a steroid cream. Now tapering and withdrawl needs to be down. Pruritus ani can be treated. Please call me and visit my clinic or send photos using online consult option for proper examination and treatment advice.
