    I use calmoseptine ointment. It takes the itch away but really it just acts as a bandaid. I also fund that ibuprofen helps or naproxen. It seems that the swelling causes my itching. It’s horrible. I’ve gotta get to the bottom of it. No pun intendedsmile

      I have been trying apple cider vinegar with warm water and ointments but it still itches...I haven't seen any worms either. 

      frown  It started all of a sudden, maybe I rubbed my bum too hard? cheesygrin

      Have you figured out what it was? What are you doing to get relief? Have you tried applying petroleum jelly? It can help relieve symptoms. Avoid spicy foods and wear white cotton underwear that don't bind.

    Only use flushable wipes to wipe after bowel movement. I have found that this helps a lot. If I need a litttle Relief I still use calmoseptine ointment.
