This comments page is so useful and somehow reassuring - I'm 25 and have had this problem for 5 months. Onset coincided with a course of antibiotics following surgery and a stressful couple of weeks.... It drove me mad for the majority of the 5 months, but for the past two weeks has been manageable and hasn't kept me awake at night! Have been using Isocol (isopropyl alcohol or "rubbing alcohol" on cotton wool after passing faeces and after showering at night - brings tears to your eyes let me tell you! But you don't need to put any creams etc on after, just use a fan or hairdryer to dry completely and you'll notice the improvement straight away. I also agree with the comment below re: apple cider vinegar - this is particularly useful for the ladies who have found the problem "creeps forward" (this treatment burns even more than when applied to your bum let me tell you!) - back it up with some clotrimazole anti-fungal cream and keep applying for a couple of weeks. But the best advice is to not scratch! I've been scratch free for two weeks now thanks to the Isocol - sure it is tempting occasionally but nowhere near as bad. Will update with progress in a few weeks. Good luck all.
