HI
Well come to HCM
Thank for asking
Your query being appreciated, the most common cause of anal pruritus is pin worm infection and it has to be given try first to eradicate the infection and for that I would suggest Mebendazole 100 mg once in week for three week, in differential diagnosis it could be fungal infection I would suggest to try Miconazole local application for that third it could be allergic condition and it can be managed with local anesthetic agent hope this information helps.
