Investigating Pruritis Ani
A full clinical history and a careful examination of the anal skin, the anus itself and the rectum is always required. This will involve inspection of the lower part of the bowel by proctoscopy or rigid sigmoidoscopy. The aim of clinical investigation is to establish the underlying cause.
Sometimes a skin biopsy may be required for diagnosing underlying skin conditions such as anal intraepithelial neoplasia (AIN) or fungal infections.
