Itchy dry skin anus

Send feedback. If you have a history of skin symptoms involving other parts of your body, your doctor will want to examine these skin areas as well. But don't self-diagnose — see a GP if you're worried. This will help to see if the itching is due to local skin problems, or a more general problem with the whole body. You can also go to a sexual health clinic if you think your itchy bottom might be caused by a sexually transmitted infection STI — for example, if you've had unprotected sex. Persistent anal itching may be related to a skin condition or other health problem that requires medical treatment.
