Have a query?

I have pruritus ani with redness, burning while walking, and liquid discharge from my anus. My previous prescription did not work, so what medicine should I take to cure this infection?

I understand your discomfort. Because your previous treatment failed, please do not self-medicate. Your symptoms?redness, burning, and liquid discharge?could indicate a resistant fungal or bacterial infection, hemorrhoids, an anal fissure, or an anal fistula.\n\nYou need a physical examination and potentially a swab test by a doctor or proctologist to get an accurate diagnosis and targeted prescription (such as specific antifungals or antibiotics).\n\nFor temporary relief: gently wash the area with plain water (avoid soap), pat dry completely, wear loose cotton underwear, and apply a thin layer of zinc oxide barrier cream. Avoid scratching to prevent worsening the irritation.
