Your doctor may prescribe a different antifungal medication or a mild topical steroid to reduce infection and inflammation. It is also important to keep the area clean and dry, avoid scratching, and wear loose cotton clothing to minimise irritation. If there is no improvement within a week or two, further evaluation may be needed to rule out other causes, such as bacterial infection, haemorrhoids, or skin conditions.

It sounds frustrating to have persistent anal irritation despite using Fluconazole. Since Fluconazole targets fungal infections but your symptoms haven't fully cleared, a combination treatment addressing both fungal infection and inflammation might help.

Onabet B Cream, which contains an antifungal (Sertaconazole nitrate) and a corticosteroid (Beclomethasone dipropionate), could reduce both fungal growth and inflammation or itching. However, this cream should be used under a doctor's supervision, especially because corticosteroids can have side effects if misused.

Next steps you can consider:

  • Consult a dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis and discuss using combination creams like Onabet B Cream.
  • Avoid scratching or irritating the area further; keep the area clean and dry.
  • Follow the prescribed treatment duration strictly and report any worsening or side effects.
  • If symptoms persist despite treatment, your doctor may investigate other causes such as bacterial infection, hemorrhoids, or skin conditions.

If you want, I can explain how to apply topical treatments safely or discuss other possible causes of anal pruritus. Please see a dermatologist for personalized care.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.Please tell me your age and gender.
