What should I do if I have perianal eczema?
Disease description:
I've been feeling itchy around the anus for the past couple of days. The doctor said it's anal eczema. What should I do after having this condition?

For perianal eczema, comprehensive measures should be adopted for treatment and care. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly to determine the condition and undergo treatment under a doctor's guidance. Treatment methods may include sitting baths with potassium permanganate solution to kill bacteria and relieve itching; topical application of medications such as compound sulfanilamide oxide zinc ointment and erythromycin ointment to alleviate symptoms; if the eczema is caused by an allergy, oral antiallergic medications may also be required. Adjust lifestyle habits by wearing cotton, soft, breathable, and loose underwear and pants, avoiding prolonged sitting, and keeping the perianal skin dry. Additionally, maintain a light diet and avoid spicy or irritating foods to prevent worsening of the condition. Avoid excessive scratching to prevent infection. Comprehensive treatment can effectively relieve symptoms of perianal eczema and promote recovery.
