Pruritus ani

You will find plenty of answers on this  site.  It seems like different things work for different people. My suggestion would be to browse the forum and start with the simplest ones first.  The one thing they all have in common is keep your bum as clean as possible without using harsh soaps and cleaners.  You will find plenty of cleaner reccomendations on the forum. Good luck!

Try asda first aid cream I heard it works I'm 19 and have been suffering with this for a year and a half and have learned to deal with it cause nothing has worked, it's the worst thing ever its peeling, itching unbarabley. Don't scrub with soap only use warm water to clean , keep it dry , don't itch but it's hard for me to say I can't help it either, preporation H helps me with the itch 

1. use no more toilet paper, wash like the Indians, with pure water, no soap, also a bit on the inside. Dry well.

2. Apply some pure coconut butter, coldpressed, organic.

3. Cut your nails short, and try real hard not to scratch any more.

This is the only thing that really works for me.

Hi! I'm placing my problem instead of a reply. A month ago suddenly while going to bed I got this itching with a bang. Saw a family physician, treated with a mild steroid & a moisturiser. Got a little relief but it returned with a vengeance within a week. Then saw a dermatologist who says no probs with the skin, tried meds for allergy, worms & fungal infection. No respite. I have an old anal fissure problem and recently diagnosed with stageIII piles &was about to undergo surgery, but with this condition it is impossible. 

I was reading the discussions here. Being an Indian keeping the area clean has never been an issue. Since I suffer from anal fissure,which has become bad during last 18 or so months(for which I had decided to go for surgery), I take care of the cleaning particularly well and take sitz bath about twice a day. I have developed another symptom other than anal itch. In the surrounding areas there is a sensation as if there is a thousand pin pricks which makes me jump around. This has been happenning in th morning until midday or so for about four days now.

I am a female of 52 years of age. 

Once I came across these discussions I'm feeling a little better because I'm not the only one. I do not know anyone personally who has this problem & so I was depressed.
