Perianal pain and itching are common symptoms that can be caused by a variety of conditions. Some common causes include:
Treatment for perianal pain and itching will depend on the underlying cause. Over-the-counter creams and ointments may help manage symptoms, but if the cause is more serious or if symptoms persist, it's important to seek medical attention. Your healthcare provider may recommend prescription-strength creams or ointments, medications to manage pain or infection, or surgical procedures to treat hemorrhoids or other underlying conditions. Additionally, practicing good hygiene, such as keeping the perianal area clean and dry, can help prevent and manage perianal pain and itching.
