Anal itching, medically known as pruritus ani, is a common yet uncomfortable condition. It causes an intense itching sensation in or around the anus and is often accompanied by a strong urge to scratch. Although many people feel embarrassed to talk about it, this condition is usually manageable once the cause is identified.
In some cases, anal itching is temporary. However, in others, it may persist and interfere with daily comfort and sleep.
