Try these simple home remedies to get rid of rectal itch -
- Rectal itching can be many times due to a fungal infection, apply plain yogurt over the rectal region and leave it for an hour. You can place a clean cotton handkerchief over it to avoid any mess. The healthy bacteria in yogurt will literally help to kill the yeast.
- Maintain appropriate personal hygiene, keep the anal region dry and clean. Wear clean cotton panties and preferably change them at night before going to bed.
- You can use cornstarch powder to keep the anal region dry.
- Wash the anal region with water preferably after a bowel movement or use moistened toilet paper instead of dry one to clean the rectum.
- To soothe the itchy skin near the rectal region add ½ cup of baking powder in warm water tub and relax in it for 15-20 minutes.
- Avoid constipation. Load your diet with water and fiber in the form of fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, sprouts and pulses.
