What Causes Anal Itching?

- Food: Certain foods ingested such as spices, hot sauces and peppers may induce anal itching.
- Infections: In addition to irritants, anal itching could be a sign of sexually transmitted infections or diseases, pinworms, or yeast infections. Antibiotics used to treat yeast infections are also known to cause anal itching.
- Skin Conditions: Anal itching can sometimes be the result of a specific skin condition like psoriasis or contact dermatitis.
- Underlying Health Conditions: Diabetes, thyroid disease, hemorrhoids, anal tumours, or Chron’s disease.
