[|Human|] I have severe anal itching - also a history of yeast infections from my wife but always involving the penis. This feels very similar, but it has been very stubborn to resolve - peeling skin and bumps, etc. Usually, the penil form simply goes away in a few days without treatment - but not with the anal version?
[|AI|]  Hi, Yeast(fungus)infection over anal region usually takes more time to get rid of because that area remains infected by other bacterial, viral infections also as a result of feces remnants despite washing clearly. Eggs of fungus have a favorable medium to grow here, so you will require 2 to 3 weeks of oral and topical antifungal with oral antibiotics (quinolones with anaerobic coverage, antiprotozoals) with antihistamines and other supportive treatment. You must consult dermatologist for proper treatment and course of action. In addition, you will have to maintain strict hygiene like handwashing after defecation, avoid scratching at anal area to prevent autoinfection.
