Itchy anus
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.

Try to keep the area completely clean and dry
Applying luliconazole ain’t gonna help
Use a barrier cream in that region
Sitz bath also helps
