What Causes Itchy Buttocks?
Do you know what causes itchy buttocks? Here are some reasons...
If you experience itching sensation at the rear end, it could mean that something is wrong in the anal region. Actually, the skin in that area is sensitive. Therefore, scratching isn't advisable.
An itching sensation could sometimes be due to a minor reason; but in some cases, it could also be a symptom of a major health issue.
If itching persists for more than a few days, consult a doctor. Here are some reasons behind the itching sensation.
Lack Of Hygiene
After passing bowels, if you don't wash thoroughly, fragments of feces, dust and sweat may accumulate on the skin around the anus. This is one reason why you may experience itchy sensation. Scratching may aggravate the problem.
Parasites
Intestinal parasites can also cause itchy sensation. This is more common in kids. Worms move around the anal region to lay eggs and this can cause itching sensation.
Foods
Sometimes, it is the food to be blamed. Caffeine, spicy foods, wine, citrus fruits, dairy and aerated drinks could cause itchy sensation. Even food allergies could be the reason behind the itching sensation.
STI
Even sexually transmitted infections like herpes, syphilis, gonorrhea can also cause itching sensation at the anal region.
Seborrheic Dermatitis
If you are suffering from this disorder, your skin may turn scaly and itchy especially in the groin, ears, arm pits and scalp.
Fungal Skin Infections
Both bacterial and fungal infections could also cause the itch. Your doctor may suggest ointments or powders if that is the case.
Hemorrhoids
Even hemorrhoids can cause anal itch. The itching sensation could aggravate due to constipation, sedentary life, obesity and pregnancy too.
Dryness
Hot showers may also make your skin dry. Sometimes, the weather could cause the dryness. In any case, if the skin down there lacks moisture, you may experience itchy sensation.
Diarrhea
Even diarrhea could cause itching sensation which makes you feel like scratching the area. Of course, diarrhea involves too many bowel movements and repeated washes of the area. That might irritate the skin. That's why skin might itch.
Other Reasons
Other reasons could be eczema, inverse psoriasis, anal skin tags and anal fissures. It is better to visit a clinic to get your doubts cleared.
