A member asked:
I feel anal itching for an extended period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anal Itching: Anal itching makes me think of pin worms or yeast. If the itching is worse at night, then it may be pinworms. You could do a "tape test" (do an online search for this or just ask here). If it is itchy most all the time, then it makes me think it is yeast. Are you a diabetic? Diabetics are more likely to have problems with yeast. Yeast infections also often occur after antibiotics.
