Clotrimazole (Daktarin) can be used for anal itching. The main function of Clotrimazole is to treat fungal infections. However, anal itching may also be caused by hemorrhoids, and perianal eczema cannot be ruled out as another possible cause. It is advisable to promptly visit the proctology or general surgery department of a reputable hospital for a thorough examination, and receive targeted treatment based on the results, so as to avoid delaying the optimal treatment period.
