Pruritis Ani Treatment
If a definite cause of the itching can be identified such as haemorrhoids, anal fissure and skin tags, treatment is usually recommended.
Underlying skin conditions such as anal intraepithelial neoplasia (AIN) may require surgery and / or close monitoring.
Fungal infections usually respond well to an appropriate cream. The consultant would advise their use. It is important to follow instructions carefully as over use of some creams, particularly those containing a steroid, can damage the skin and cause worsening symptoms.
Threadworm usually requires treatment of the whole family to prevent re-infection.
Where the cause is not immediately obvious, careful hygiene, avoidance of certain foods etc is usually recommended - see pruritis ani advice sheet for more information.

What our patients think...
I would absolutely and wholeheartedly recommend the HALO procedure, Mr Tariq Ismail and the Birmingham Bowel Clinic to others- and have already done do. I would also recommend Mr Ismail for his expertise and care for people suffering with all aspects of bowel conditions. ”
