Hi am 34yrs 5ft 68kg.my result raed staflocucus,i was gvn 10 days AVECF INCTION WHC I KOMPLET LS SUN,ALSO DACIN-F 300MG.BUT AS I WAS TAKEN THE INJECTN I STARTED PURGEN ON D 7TH DAY.doc aftar stulen my annal(anus) itches me alot.wht do i do?thanks Doctor: Hello,Thank you for posting your query to HCM.From what you are describing it might be a thrush infection. It came after the use of an antibiotic (Dacin-F), and the anus is a place where fungal infections tent to grow.If I was your caring doctor, I would suggest to take Canesten 2% cream, to use twice/day for 5 days. If it is used with a thick layer, spread to cover about 2 cm over and outside the borders of the itchy place, it will be enough to clean the infection. Try to keep the area clean and  dry. If it doesn't get better, or is getting worse, consider to have it checked by your local doctor. Its very low possibility to be something else, but sometimes is better to have a look.Let me know if you have any further question.Regards,Dr. Klarida Papaqako.
