Why can itch (itching) in the area of the coccyx

Itching is the most vivid symptom of many diseases. Appearing on the coccyx, he will not give rest for a minute. To get rid of the discomfort quickly and permanently, it is necessary to accurately establish the cause.

The Man scratched the coccyx, in the first place should pay attention to the elementary rules of hygiene. If irritation of the delicate skin in the heat by sweating, the problem can be eliminated by regular taking a shower or bath. More efficient rule – the vagina after defecation.

If the hygiene is okay, you should consult a dermatologist. The doctor will determine why there is itching:

• allergies
• dermatological disease;
• viral or fungal invasion;
• pilonidal sinus or epithelial coccygeal course.

Allergic reaction

Hives and itching can be a reaction of the organism to stimuli. it is Known that allergies can cause medications, foods, household dust, pollen, animal hair, synthetic materials from which clothing is made.

Allergy suffers not only the area of the coccyx, but also the entire skin. The cause of the irritation could identify the victim, but more often it requires laboratory tests.

Protection from Allergy is cessation of contact with the stimulus and normalization of immunity. A good medium is considered a regular wet cleaning of the premises.

Dermatologic disease

The Most common skin diseases, causing itching, can be a eczema and psoriasis. In these cases there is a spot with clear boundaries.

Symptoms of psoriasis: dry the stain a pink color, covered with scales. When peeling scaly plaque removed, and opens a thin glossy film.

eczema Symptoms: wet itchy spot white or red. Desiccation cracks form.

Both diseases have a serious immune in nature and are treated under medical supervision.

viruses, or fungi

Our skin is constantly being attacked by infection. If its protective functions are weakened, then there is a risk of infection. The consequence of attack by the herpes virus is the specific precipitation in the form of small itchy bubbles. The coccyx may spread the infection received through sexual contact.

The Virus settles permanently in the body and manifests himself in each case of reduced immunity. The rash heals within 10 days.

Shingles is a consequence of Contracting a fungal infection. Manifests itself in the form of a bright itchy spots rounded shape with a clearly defined outline. Getting Miko-dispute possible in the presence of cracks, scratches and other damage to the skin in the coccyx area.

Both groups of diseases are diagnosed by clinical examination and by laboratory tests. The appointment of external and oral medications conducted by a dermatologist.

Epithelial coccygeal course

Itching in the area of the coccyx may be caused by congenital defect of the epithelial coccygeal passage. Subcutaneous channel with a point moves with a length of 2-3 cm along the spine. It is located on the stretch from the sacrum to the anus. Skin in the crease saved existing hair follicles, sweat and sebaceous glands.

no one knows exactly why the buttock crease formed channel. But most often doctors are faced with abnormal ingrown hairs in the skin. Usually men suffer from. The patient with epithelial coccygeal course feel discomfort and itching in the impacted region.

Epithelial coccygeal course is more often called the actual anomaly without clinical manifestations. If the patient complains of inflammation and formation of abscesses, in the history of the disease describe how pilonidal sinus, dermoid cyst of the coccyx, sequentially dermoid or dermoid fistula.

The First sign of trouble in the area of the coccyx may be periodic discharge from point moves. The proximity to the anus increases the risk of contamination of the stroke of the intestinal microflora. The impetus for the development of the disease may be trauma or hypothermia.

The Bacteria cause inflammation of the canal. If it is narrow, the outflow of pus is difficult. The infection infects the surrounding tissue, infiltration develops, abscess and fistula.

Opening pilonidal sinus is inefficient as suppurative process may resume. As a rule, the cyst is completely removed.

The Lack of radical treatment of epithelial coccygeal progress may lead to the formation of fistulas, infection of the perineum, inguinal folds, scrotum, and even the abdomen.

Though very rarely, but still ignoring the inflammation in the coccyx area can lead to degeneration of the cyst to a malignant tumor.
