HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It may be related to the antibiotics if this the only change but you would also need to consider if you have a parasite (worm) infection.

This can sometimes present with itchy sensation in this region.

This can be assessed by a stool sample and if found can be treated easily by the use of antiparasitic medication.

I hope this helps
