What can I do for an itchy anus?

Answer by  Anonymous

Do not rub, do not scratch. No soap (it dries the skin and isn't necessary back there. Apply Calmoseptine cream before bed and after your shower, and keep a dry wad of gauze tucked back there to keep it dry. You have to stop scratching or it'll never get better!

Do you have hemorrhoids? You can get hemorrhoid ointment that will help shrink them and that should alleviate some of the itching. If it is not hemorrhoids, then make sure you clean the anus very thoroughly when showering and apply some itch ointment to the anus for relief throughout the day.

Products designed for hemoroids may be of assistance, such as the wipes, pads, and creams. Avoid excessively scrubbing or digging at the area.
