Itchy anus

2024-10-02 07:14:23
Hi, my anus itches a lot during day time. The intensity increases during walk, now it is itching while sitting also. I am diabetic, 40 year old male. I am using luliconazole 1% once in a day, initially it gave the relief but now it is of no use. Kindly guide what to do? Kindly suggest any better ointment or pill available OTC.
