  • Skin condition: Dermatitis and psoriasis can cause itching.
  • Infections: Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) can lead to itching.
  • Incontinence: This condition can make it hard to control moisture and bacteria.
  • Foods: Dietary irritants which include chilli peppers, alcohol, chocolate and caffeinated drinks.
  • Drugs: Anal itching can be a side effect of chemotherapy and steroids.
  • System conditions: such as anemia, diabetes, jaundice and thyroid diseases.

Symptoms:

In addition to anal itching, you may experience:

  • Burning
  • Soreness
