Abstract
1. 42 Cases of Pruritus Ani were treated, with oral medication and local applications. 2. History of the duration of symptoms varied from 1 to 30 years. Three cases also had Pruritus Vulvae. 3. A formula containing Takadiastase and Sodium Dilantin made an effective combination. Dilantin alone did not control the condition. 4. Soap and water are avoided at first, and local cleansing is done with olive oil. Laundry is to be done only with the finer soaps. 5. Silver Nitrate is accurately applied to the skin fissures as well as those within the anal canal. Judgment must be exercised as to the quantity used and the strength of the solution. 6. Alcohol, mineral oil, condiments and fried foods are omitted entirely. 7. Duration of treatment varies with individual cases. Those who are constipated are slower to recover. 8. A recent review of the literature on the subject of Pruritus Ani has failed to disclose any previous treatment of this type.
