For the past 7 months, I have been battling with severe anal itching after taking Cipro for prostatitis. The itch began while I was on the drug back in June, and has never let up.
The itch has no pattern to it. It can itch at any time of the day, but it's worse after having a bowel movement. I have been tested for candida albicans, strep in the anal canal, c diff, h pylori, parasites, pinworms and all have come back negative.
I have been to 6 different different doctors (primary, gastro, urologist, dermatologist, color rectal, and infectious diseases). Neither of them can figure out what's wrong.
I'm at my witts end with this. I need help!
