Question
Is your child’s anal itching caused by worms?
Answer
If your child’s anal area itches, it might be due to anal itching. Treatment mainly involves paying attention to lifestyle, reducing the intake of tobacco, alcohol, and spicy food, breaking the habit of scratching, avoiding external irritants, maintaining cleanliness and dryness in the area, and bathing without using highly alkaline soap or hot water. Topical antiseptic solutions and ointments, as well as physical therapy, are also recommended.
