Eczema in anus
Common Questions and Answers about Eczema in anus
eczema
You probably have eczema in the groin area. Their are dozens of posts on this site and others concerning the same symptoms. My whole scrotum turns red and sometime the leg creases. None of the medication the doctors gave me do anything. I do not itch unless it turns really red. But when you read about eczema it usually itches and turns red after you scratch it. I never scratch, but it turns red sometimes within minuets. The area gets so dark in color it looks brown.
However, there is an area just inside my anus where i used to scratch way back when i first got it, and didnt know i had it. I can see the area in a mirror if i really spread abart my anus and have been applying the nystatin in there by just sliding a finger inside to cover the area.
I have a dermatologist appointment in a week and have 2 questions :
1.
Anti-itch drugs, often antihistamine, may reduce the itch during a flare up of eczema, and the reduced scratching in turn reduces damage and irritation to the skin.
For mild-moderate eczema a weak steroid may be used (e.g. hydrocortisone or desonide), whilst more severe cases require a higher-potency steroid (e.g. clobetasol propionate, fluocinonide).
Eczema can be exacerbated by dryness of the skin. Moisturizing is one of the most important self-care treatments for sufferers of eczema.
Hi,
It could be an eczema present in the buttocks.The term eczema is broadly applied to a range of persistent skin conditions. These include dryness and recurring skin rashes which are characterized by one or more of these symptoms: redness, skin edema (swelling), itching and dryness, crusting, flaking, blistering, cracking, oozing, or bleeding.
Atopic eczema is believed to have a hereditary component, and often runs in families whose members also have hay fever and asthma.
My scrotum skin and my anus is also very itchy but mostly at night.I sometimes feel pain in my urethra like pins. I want to specify something i dont want to hear people saying discharge or unhygenic practices. I am very hygenic have been so all my life, i have never had a discharge in my life and i have never had a rash or swelling inside my foreskin coz im not circumcised.
My anus has been itching for the last 6 days if I whipe to scratch it it makes it itch a lot more intensly it doesn't hurt or bleed just really itches it dies down if I don't mess with it. I had my wife look at it an she sees nothing but a small white tag/bump on outside of anus, what could be going on? I've had hymroids before but it's never just itched like this.
No - touching the vagina, putting your finger in the vagina, or getting fluid on your cuts is not a risk. This is true even if you have eczema, bleeding blisters, cuts or scratches. You have no risk and you do not need to test.
HIV transmission happens inside the body, when a penis is inside a vagina or anus without a condom.
I have a history of eczema and I am wondering if that may be the cause. My eczema has usually been mild, small spots about a 1/4 in size that show up anywhere (hands, arms, chest, legs, face) but they are easily treated with a steroidal cream. Please help! I have been too embarrased to go to my doctor but it is greatly affecting my sleep now!
Thank you for your time.
Hi there,
My vagina always itches. Always. I can't take it - I'm so tired of the pain that comes with it after scratching forever, sometimes to the point of blood. It's not inside the vagina, it is the skin over the pubic bone and sometimes further back by the anus. There is no odor, no discharge, sometimes bumps (but I think that is just a reaction to the scratching). I think it's eczema (I also have eczema in my ears). I don't know what to do.
For mild-moderate eczema a weak steroid like hydrocortisone or desonide may be used. They do not cure eczema, but are highly effective in controlling or suppressing symptoms in most cases.
You can take anti-histamines like Cetrizine for the itching. It is a chronic condition and there is really no cure for it. It will show periods of remission and flare-ups.

Hello. I have an eczema that flares up around my anus (on the outside) which causes quite a bit of discomfort when it happens (which is usually in summer when I tend to sweat more in that area. I also have hair growing around there which seems to cause the area to be moist and probably doesn’t help. I have a salve that works quite well but only handles the problem when it flares up and doesn’t prevent it (which I understand isn’t really possible).
I developed this same problem in high school, then when I joined the Marines it got much worse. The 4 years I was in the Marines it was diagnosed as eczema, jock itch, dermatitis, external yeast infection, etc. Some creams would remedy it for a couple days but it would always return. I actually have a small tough scar tissue area on my scrotum and my eyelids are more wrinkled than they should be.
last year I went to see an allergist for seasonal allergies that cause me chronic sinus infections.
Just recently I start to notice that there is rash/skin coloured spots near the opening of my vagina, lip of the vagina and also some on my anus.. I think for the rash on my vagina, it has been there for some time but I was recently concerned if it is std. It's only within this few months that I noticed there were rash on my anus.. I thought it's because I plug my anus hair which I usually won't, it resulted in my anus being itchy for a few weeks but now it is not itchy anymore.
As someone with over 20 years of experience in dealing with HIV I can quite categorically state HIV is not transmitted via eczema. The anus is a good place of transmission as it is very vascular and the skin a lot more fragile in that region. Same with the penis. Secondly the thrusting of the penis against the vagina and anus causes friction and thus tears are much more common.
Currently, I have some itch on my scrotum and anus area and the usual eczema places (Back of knee cap, hands, feet). The itch areas on my scrotum and anus has no bumps... its just itch.
I have Eczema 10 years ago and I still have it. Currently, I still have multiple itchy events throughout the year and I've been applying Betasone Cream on the areas and it will usually subside very quickly in a few hours after I apply the cream.

hey I went to the doctor today and she told me that I had eczema due to much stress and worrying. Also, here in houston the temperature changes from 45 to 80 and she said that can be also too. She checked my little bumps and said that it looked like eczema so she gave me some creams which help a lot. I haven't have gotten tested for herpes but I will do one I soon as possible.
Hello,
For your eczema, You can apply some calamine lotion at the rash as it will help in soothing the skin. You can take some OTC oral antihistamine medications like Benadryl or Claritin and see if it helps.
For mild-moderate eczema a weak steroid may be used (e.g. hydrocortisone as dermacort), whilst more severe cases require a higher-potency steroid (e.g. clobetasol propionate, fluocinonide) which are available under prescription. Eczema can be exacerbated by dryness of the skin.
Anti-itch drugs, often antihistamine, may reduce the itch during a flare up of eczema, and the reduced scratching in turn reduces damage and irritation to the skin.
