Pruritus Ani Sandyford Protocols PRURITUS ANI Aetiology Inflammatory dermatoses: seborrhoeic eczema, flexural psoriasis, contact dermatitis (allergy), lichen sclerosis, lichen planus (may be no sign of skin disease elsewhere) Infection: viral warts, fungal infection (candida and dermatophyte species), erythrasma (Corynebacterium minutissimum), herpes simplex and zoster Parasitic infections: threadworms especially in children Metabolic problems: diabetes mellitus Malignancy: perianal carcinoma, extra mammary Paget's disease Poor hygiene: obesity and skin tags Anal leakage: sphincter dysfunction Stress: chronic lichen simplex History Symptoms of itching or pain: identify aggravating or relieving factors General health including medications and allergies: enquire about bowel history, use of creams and ointments, problems with rest of skin and mucous membranes including mouth, vagina and glans penis. Family history : diabetes, bowel problems Social history : recent travel abroad and sexual health Physical Examination Skin and perianal area: assess overall skin morphology and condition, taking into account hairiness, faecal soiling, eczema, lichenification, ulceration, fissures, skin tags, fistula and sinuses Rectal examination (consider digital and proctoscopic exam) Skin: assess remainder of integument for clinical clues (psoriatic nails, Wickham’s striae) Investigations Swabs to exclude infection: ulcer PCR swab if fissures,ulcers or unusual erythematous lesions, in addition to bacteriology charcoal swab of affected area Apply cellotape for threadworm ova apply sticky side to perianal area in the morning before defaecation. Tape is then applied to a slide for microscopic examination. Urinalysis for glucose Consider skin biopsy and patch testing PRURITUS ANI CEG SEPT 2015 Page 1 of 3 Sandyford Protocols Management General Advice Clean carefully after bowel motions Use appropriate soap substitute cream by hand (avoid soap, bubblebaths, shampoo, other potential irritative applications and abrasive agents such as flannels) Wear loose soft cotton underwear Eat high fibre diet (avoid trauma by facilitating normal anal sphincter function)) Lose weight if appropriate Avoid spicy foods or other irritant foods Try not to scratch: trial of cotton gloves at night. Specific conditions Threadworm Enterobius vermicularis - small white thread-like (1-2cm) worms Females lay eggs in perianal region which are ingested and mature in the caecum ( 6 weeks incubation) Sources of infection: digital/anal/oral contact bedding (households/institutions) rimming (especially MSM) Mebendazole 100 mg stat May need second dose after 3 weeks if recurrence *Avoid in pregnancy – SEE BELOW A rigid regime of personal hygiene with the hope of “natural eradication” should be attempted, treating all other members of the family, in addition to aqueous cream perianally. No treatment is licensed in pregnancy. Other causes Erythrasma: chronic, itchy, red-brown macules with very fine scale on intertriginous skin, particularly the anogenital area. Treat using erythromycin 500mg bd po for 5-7 days, or topical 2% clindamycin cream for one week. Acute Anal Fissure: The majority of acute fissure tears are posterior (>99% in men, >90% women). If multiple fissures and/or atypical location consider alternative diagnosis – HSV, syphilitic chancre, inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s, ulcerative colitis), intra- epithelial neoplasia (AIN), trauma. Usual presentation is acute pain; however, anal itch is also common. Recommend: 1. Laxatives (discuss stimulant versus bulking type) 2. Dietary adjustments – fruit/fibre/fluids 3. non-constipating analgesics (paracetamol – avoid NSAIDs) 4. topical anaesthetic (short term use only – anusol proprietary preparation) PRURITUS ANI CEG SEPT 2015 Page 2 of 3 Sandyford Protocols 5. Glyceryl trinitrate cream (Rectogesic 0.4% GTN: apply 2.5 cm twice daily for up to 8 weeks - non formulary) may also be useful (warn patient on risk of vasovagal episodes due to low blood pressure, headache and potential interactions with other blood pressure-lowering drugs). Diltiazem cream is used as an alternative for patients who are intolerant of GTN. Reassure that the majority of fissures are self-limiting and unlikely to cause serious long term harm to health. Recurrent and chronic fissures may also be managed by surgical intervention. Empirical management: no definitive diagnosis Intermittent twice daily use of mild, topical steroid cream combined with antifungal agent (clotrimazole with hydrocortisone). Appropriate use of emollients (trial of both water-based and paraffin-based depending on state of skin) In severe cases consider potent steroids such as dermovate and/or systemic antipruritic (non sedating cetirizine or sedating chlorpheniramine), sedating agents with nerve-modifying functions such as low dose amitriptyline 10-20mg nocte. (discuss such management with a senior clinician). Consider role of biopsy. PRURITUS ANI CEG SEPT 2015 Page 3 of 3 .

  • Pruritus Ani (Itchy Bottom)
    PRURITUS ANI (ITCHY BOTTOM) What is pruritus ani? Pruritus ani means a chronic (persistent) itchy feeling around the anus. The main symptom is an urge to scratch your anus which is difficult to resist. The urge to scratch may occur at any time. However, it tends to be more common after you have been to the toilet to pass faeces, and at night (particularly just before falling asleep). The itch may be made worse by heat, wool, moisture, leaking, soiling, stress, and anxiety. About 1 in 20 people develop pruritus ani at some stage. It is common in both adults and children. What causes pruritus ani? Pruritus ani is a symptom, not a final diagnosis. Various conditions may cause pruritus ani. However, in many cases the cause is not clear. This is called ‘idiopathic pruritus ani’, which means ‘itchy anus of unknown cause’. Known causes of pruritus ani There are various causes which include the following: Inflamed anal skin is a common cause (a localised dermatitis). The inflammation is usually due to the skin ‘reacting’ to small amounts of faeces (sometimes called stools or motions) left on the skin, and/or to sweat and moisture around the anus. Young children who may not wipe themselves properly, adults with sweaty jobs, and adults with a lot of hair round the anus may be especially prone to this. Thrush and fungal infections. These germs like it best in moist, warm, airless areas, such as around the anus. Thrush is more common in people with diabetes. Other infections such as scabies, herpes, anal warts and some other sexually transmitted diseases can cause itch around the anus.

    PRURITUS ANI FACT SHEET What is Pruritus Ani? Pruritus Ani is an intense itching sensation at or near the anus. What causes Pruritus Ani? The most common cause of anal itching is excessive anal cleaning. Other less common causes include: Irritation: soaps, scented toilet tissue, feminine hygiene products, and creams or ointments can bring about the condition. Diet: foods containing caffeine may cause and/or contribute to Pruritus Ani. Coffee, tea, colas, and chocolate have caffeine. Other offenders may include tomatoes, ketchup, milk products and beer. Diarrhea: Pruritus Ani can be caused or aggravated by loose, runny stools. Anxiety: nervous tension and stress may cause or worsen anal itching. Other rare causes of Pruritus Ani include psoriasis, yeast infections, pinworms and contact dermatitis. How is Pruritus Ani treated? If you are experiencing an intense itching sensation in or near your anus, consult with your physician for proper diagnosis. He or she may recommend the following: • No soap – use only water when washing the anal area, keeping it as clean as possible. • Avoid the previously mentioned foods and beverages. • Avoid foods and beverages which may cause diarrhea. • Stop the use of medications and ointments on the anal area, except when prescribed by your physician. • Wear cotton undergarments.
