Why Do Hairs Grow Around the Anus?

Hair growth around the anus is a normal phenomenon, often related to excessive secretion of androgen hormones, and generally does not require special treatment. There are numerous hair follicles around the anus. When androgen levels in the body are excessively high, and secondary sexual characteristics begin to develop after puberty, pubic hair usually appears, and hair may also appear around the anus. This is a normal physiological response and generally does not require excessive concern or special treatment. It is important to maintain good personal hygiene, wear breathable clothing, avoid overly tight clothing to reduce skin irritation. At the same time, attention should be paid to changes in the anal area. If excessive hair growth leads to moisture and itchiness in the local skin around the anus, antibiotic treatments such as erythromycin ointment, mupirocin ointment, and fusidic acid cream can be used under medical guidance to inhibit the activity of pathogens. A bland diet should be maintained, avoiding spicy foods like chili peppers and ginger, as well as greasy foods such as fried chicken and hamburgers, which may lead to excessive sebaceous gland secretion. If obvious discomfort or symptoms appear, standardized treatment should be sought promptly.
