A member asked:
I have pruritus ani, and i believe it is from over cleanliness which may have caused the nerves of my perianal skin to be overactive, what can i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Try: an OTC (Over the Counter) Hydro-cortisone Cream (Hemorrhoid creams may contain this) Hope it helps! Dr Z BTW pruritus ani may be a SIGN of a HEMORRHOIDAL condition!
