Hi everyone i'am 22 normal healthy man, for the last year i have this wetness on my anus, it smells like vagina slightly fishy not particulary bad but distinct. My anus is itchy a lot but mostly at night when i go to bed. I havent had a full nights sleep in about 6 months i wake up around 5 in the morning every night with my hand scratching my anus. Its the most uncomfortable situation and it seems to persist no matter what?
Any help at all would be great im going insane
Thanks Tom

Hi there, thank you for posting your question on Ehealthforum. This is not intended as a substitute to visiting your own doctor.


What you describe is probably pruritus ani. Antihistamine tab a night, mild steroid cream to break the itch/scratch cycle go easy with the soap and talk to you doctor to rule out type 2 diabetes.
