Itching in Anal area
I am quite hairy. Since past 5-6 days I have itching in the anal area. On looking through I found that the butt cheeks have become red. I also have constipation. The urge to itch increases multifold at night during sleep. I haven't applied any ointment yet. When cleaning the area with water, it pains a little.
Please advise what to do.
Fungal infection or Ring worm.. when occurs in groin, called as jock itch.. Usually fungal infection is common in moist areas of body like skin folds..It's mostly circular or round in appearance.. May be red or black in colour.. Treatment depending on the type and severity.. Avoid sharing clothes, towels and soap; sweating also increases it.. Do direct online consultation for detailed prescription
