Treatment of anal itching depends on the cause of the problem. If you have an infection, treat it immediately. Good hygiene and a change of diet can also help prevent anal itching. Be sure to clean the anus in the morning, at night and immediately after a long call. Wear cotton underwear and loose clothing to avoid irritation. Keep the anus dry and avoid scratching it even if you experience itching. Seek diagnosis and treatment from the nearest health unit if anal itching is severe or lasts more than a few hours, or if there is bleeding from the rectum.
