A member asked:

Itching around the anus. no swollen nothing. just itching. can this be parasites? if so what's kind of meds to take?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe but...: But not common in the US. More common causes are related to hygiene, an irritant (i.el a new soap), hemorrhoid or an anal fissure just to name a few.
