Anal Itching (Pruritus Ani): Causes, Relief & When to See a Doctor


Question
Doctor
I have been suffering from this on a daily basis.It seems to have showed up after I had a bladder infection.Could there be a connection?
In the past I have only had it after drinking too much beer,but I havent had any beer at all lately.
As a child I had a couple pinworm infections and the symptoms are similar.I took some over the counter medication for that but it didnt help.
Could it be Candida?
I have seem my doctor and he reccomended suppositories,but I would like to know the cause.
There is a family history of colon cancer but I recently had a sigmoidoscopy/barium enema which ruled that out.

Answer
Yes, it could be any of these but you can clear it in a week with the use of extra virgin olive oil after each bath or shower by applying it to the perianal area. It even kills pinworms and candida if used every night after the shower or bath before bedtime.
