There are generally two reasons for anal itching. Either it is intestinal parasites, such as nematodes. You can observe the stool to see if there are any, or take the stool to the laboratory for diagnosis. It may also be anal eczema. Pay attention to ventilation, do not sit for a long time, and use potassium permanganate for sitz bath disinfection every day. Be careful not to buy cheap fish tank disinfectants or those for veterinary use. You can prepare an anal hydrotherapy device and place it on the toilet. People who squat on the ground cannot last the required time. Use a handheld Washlet after each use to ensure it is clean. Use a painless breathable pad when sitting to cushion the wound. You can prepare an anorectal rehabilitation kit, which is usually available in large hospitals, but it is more expensive than some. But be careful of the fake products that seem cheap on Taobao. For example, fake painless breathable pads are only breathable on the front and back, while hospitals use pads with 4 air channels to ensure that the wound can breathe. There are also materials used in hospitals, the same as car seats, so that they can shield the wound, but the inner core of the fake ones is black and will collapse when you sit on it.

Generally, you need to consider that the situation is caused by worms in the baby's stomach. It is recommended to give the baby a deworming treatment once to see the effect.

Anal itching may be caused by an infection with roundworms.

Suggestions: It is best to do a check using the transparent tape egg sticking method. If it is worm disease, then the clothes, bedding, toys, seats, etc. should be disinfected. Underwear, quilts, bed sheets, especially underwear, should be boiled in boiling water before washing to kill insect eggs. Wash hands before meals and after defecation. Children should correct the habit of sucking their fingers. Do not wear open-crotch pants when sleeping to prevent insect eggs from passing through contaminated fingers and then through the hand-to-mouth route.
