Well it's 5am....

Ok mate first thing you need to do is go out and buy fragrence free baby wipes, yes i did just say that.

Next get either vaseline or emollient cream (has to prescribed by your doc)or aloe vera gel (defo gel) 99% proof (health food shops).

Now make sure your nails are cut. Now which ever one you've brought put onto baby wipe (fold into 2) and rub into your itchy part of bottom (that's why you cut your nails so you don't accidently cut yourself). Now the itch should stay away fron hours and you shouldn't have cut yourself and those products can be safely used everday (some products after long term use actually make you itch).

Hope this helps.

Check you don't have threadworms. :roll:

Firstly why the rolleyes and secondly for many it's not worms, idiot.

No need to be rude.

It was absolutely the last this I would have thought of and yet when I realised I had contracted my daughter's threadworms the problem was addressed very quickly.

Well I was rude because I've had this itch for over 2 years and sadly it's not worms, which is usually the first thing doctors (who are crap at doing anything about this itch) look for. I think 2 courses of medicines shows worms it ain't.

Have you tried applying a ice cold wet sponge / wash cloth / flannel to the area? Just keep the cloth or whatever topped up to keep it very cold, yeah its bliss :D

There is a relatively new product out called HemoClin ( expensive at £13.50!) that a friends of mine has found fantastic ..... after years of itching and trying pretty much everything available, she now swears by this.

It can be bought at Boots and contains mainly natural ingredients apparently. It has transformed her life!!
