Have had it for 20 years. Don't know why it suddenly started. Had biopsy and used steroids but nothing found, and nothing worked long term. Nightmare, contributed to my divorce, and the end of another relationship. You know that it has a massive effect on a physical relationship if you suffer, but others don't understand.

    Try the capsiciam(sp) remedy. Been mentioned a couple times by different people.

    I'd be interested to know which steroid creams you have used. If indeed you're using the right ones, like is said above you need to see a dermatologist who can prescribe a capsacian cream mix which is effective.

    My wife and I have been together for 13 years,I started getting the itch when we moved into together around 20 years ago tried every kind of cortisone cream,lotion on the market.suffered for last ten years with little sleep and countless doctor visits!!

    Started anilyzing what could cause this condition??

    When we moved in together I started taking bubble baths with her at night?

    She uses fragrance bubble bath so I thought I'll stop taking baths with her!! 3 months ago my butt has not itched 1 time!!
