It may be caused by ticks, which usually occur in children, but this type of tick disease can be transmitted from person to person to the adult body. For example, a child is infected with ticks, and because of the itching of the anus, he scratches it hard, and the hands and nails will be full of larvae. These larvae will stay on the sofa, toys and other places he has touched through the child's hands. The larvae of ticks can survive for 3 weeks at normal room temperature outside the body, and may infect others during these 3 weeks.

It may be because the residual bacteria and dirt are not wiped clean after urinating. If these bacteria remain in the anus for a long time, it is likely to cause anal itching. Therefore, you must wipe the excrement clean after urinating.
