Since your antihistamine (Teczine) hasn't provided relief, the itching is likely not due to a systemic allergy. Persistent anal itching, especially at night, is commonly caused by localised issues like fungal infections, haemorrhoids, or pinworms. I highly recommend consulting your doctor for a physical evaluation. Depending on the cause, they may suggest generic treatments such as topical clotrimazole (for fungal infections), albendazole (if pinworms are suspected), or a mild hydrocortisone cream to reduce inflammation. For immediate comfort, keep the area clean and dry, avoid harsh soaps, wear loose cotton underwear, and apply a soothing zinc oxide barrier ointment.
