What is Anal Itch?
Anal itch can be defined as an intense itching around the anal tissue. The itch can be so insistent that resisting the urge to scratch may be difficult or impossible. This can understandingly become an extremely uncomfortable situation and many times people suffering from anal itch feel embarrassed to talk about it with their doctors. Anal itch is also known as pruritus ani. Treatment for anal itching is normally prescribed after establishing the underlying cause of symptoms.
