Hi there...
Perianal issues need to be seen.
Some clear pics and an Online Consultation may be best for an initial assessment and to arrive at a diagnosis.
Should more intervention be required, then a visit may be needed.
It may even be because of a simple pin worm 🪱 infestation.
More details and history will be helpful.
Next Steps
ONLINE Consultation or an Instant Consultation will be useful.
Health Tips
Clip your nails to avoid scratching and damage.
Sitz bath may be useful and details will be shared on Consultation.
OTC ointments are best avoided
Zinc oxide cream (nappy rash cream) can be given a trial.
