Itching in and around the anal region is often caused by pinworm infection, which is common and treatable. Managing hygiene and using appropriate treatments can help relieve symptoms effectively.

Medication Side Effect: If a topical steroid cream like Eumosone Cream (containing Clobetasone) is considered, be aware it may cause local irritation, burning, or itching at the application site, and should be used only under a doctor’s guidance.

Self-care Tips:

1. Maintain strict hygiene – wash the anal area gently with water and mild soap daily to reduce irritation and remove eggs.
2. Avoid scratching – scratching can worsen irritation and spread infection. Keep nails trimmed.
3. Wash bedding and clothes frequently in hot water – this helps eliminate pinworm eggs and prevents reinfection.
4. Consult a doctor for appropriate anti-parasitic medication – a specialist such as a pediatrician or general physician can prescribe safe treatment.

Hope this helps. Please consult a doctor for diagnosis confirmation and tailored treatment.
