Winnie the Poo asks:

Since about twenty days ago, I've had this weird sweaty-burning sensation in my butthole all day long, and the itching is killing me (scratching 24/7 is not nice...). Please tell me -- am I going to die?? What did I do to deserve this? And most of all, how can I get rid of it?


Dear Winnie,

First of all, relax. An itchy bunghole is rarely fatal, unless you resort to extremes such as using a blowtorch or power sander.

You can first try simple measures, such as using gentle baby wipes to clean the area after each visit to the bathroom; wearing old lady cotton underpants (or loose cotton jockeys if you are a guy, which I hope you aren't if you are signing yourself Winnie the Poo); and using (sparingly) baby cornstarch in the area.

If these things don't help, go see a doctor. You might have yeast or something down there.

Please be advised that I am only a Poonurse. I am NOT a medical doctor. Any advice I give should be taken moderate skepticism. Please consult a REAL medical doctor if you feel you have a serious medical condition.

Sorry I'm late to thank you. A little hidrocortizone and all your recommendations worked out perfectly. I feel I can walk freely again, though the blow torch was a tempting idea!!

Lame comment!

If this ever happens again DO NOT scratch it!!! This is asscrackitis and it wants you to scratch it. The more you scratch, the more it itches. Those butt demons will laugh.

omg the alcohol trick works like a charm! just after reading this, i went and tried it. i've never fet a pain like that before in my life ! but it worked, and i am relieved. thank you !

The Incredible Butt (not verified) -- 07.01.2007

anyone crazy enough to use rubbing alcohol and a cotton ball to thier anus is definitely out of thier mind. You got an ichy ass, try changing soaps (I prefer that you use a soap with no perfumes or dyes - shea soap worked wonders for me). I also would suggest that you towel pat your buns when wett or let the booty air dry.

Shoving Meats in the Butterhole (not verified) -- 07.09.2007

I once suffered from that horrible buthole erosion they call "Itchy Anus" it was about 2 years ago and i would always feel wetness and irritating reactions to my butterhole and guich area then it started to itchy with extreme measures as the time grew on untill one day i couldnt take the dumper pains and i poured a hot can of cambell soup down my meatscoop and the dumper was cured of all the pain. I prefer cambells but american choice would be fine to.

Great comment! +1 point

Dear "I once had an ichy ass",

Waking up with blood, shit and assmeat under your nails can't be fun.

I haven't laughed that hard since I read Gasputin's last post. OMFG! Rubbing alcohol? Witch Hazel or peroxide are far less painful. Trust me. I know. I got some on my "hyna" once because I had razor bumps in the bikini area and thought it would be a good idea to keep the area disinfected.

Someone's screaming My Lord, KumbaYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Never again shall rubbing alcohol touch my mucus membranes. Monkey's must be flying from my ass first.

The Shit Volcano (3818) -- 07.17.2007

"Assmeat!" Ah, ha ha ha ha ha!!!!

Okay. You may lame me now.

Is it safe to use rubbing alcohol on the anal area?

shit disturber (4) -- 11.25.2007

RUBBING ALCOHOL?! ARE YOU SERIOUSE?! no, ok just no. first off, if your bum itches and rubbing alcohol cures it, most likely you have a dirty buttcrack(commonly known as "swamp ass") and washing would be MUCH less painfull. secondly if its been itchy for years non-stop SEE A DOCTOR! it may be hemrroids(my dad and boyfriend both have them and they complain of itchyness,discharge,ect) save yourself the agony please!

IPooFreely (not verified) -- 11.28.2007

I have been on this brown gem of a site trying to figure out a cure to my itchy ass and i must say I've seen much more intelligent solutions than any of the doctor's i've seen. To ALL of the responses that say, "GO SEE A DOCTOR!,"....well I HAVE, several in fact...even a dermatologist. I now have a group of professionals in the area whom I've paid to look at my brown eye. Yay!

I can't speak for every doctor but for the most part they simply give you anti-itch cream that is full of shit (no pun) which probably makes the itch worse. I've had prescription strength hydrocortisone cream and it doesn't work.

I don't think people understand that magnitude of itch we're dealing with here....this is CLASS 5 itch...which brings me to my next point, to those who say "DON'T ITCH IT!" The only way I'm going to stop itching is if my arms get chopped off...you obviously don't understand what we're going through man!

I will finish up by saying I am a very clean healthy (married) male who washes every day. I've used the wipes, I've cleansed gently, I've changed my soap, I've air dryed, I've used the friggin creams and lotions and this mother is still pissing me off....4 yrs later!

....Desperate conditions call for desperate measures...I'm on my way to try this cotton ball, alcohol (OK, I'll try peroxide first) fire in the hole trick....If that doesn't work, blow torch it is.

Brown-eye (not verified) -- 12.06.2007

The Latin term for an itchy arse is "Pruritus ani". The condition is fairly common. Causes may include hemorrhoids, a yeast infection or irritation from one's own fecal matter. Another reason may be flexural psoriasis in the groin. A visit to the doctor is required if the symptons persist but immediate relief can be obtained by using a mild antispectic cream such as Savlon.

thanks fellow ass scratchers, you're the shit

The Shit Volcano (3818) -- 04.06.2008

Try a wire brush. It'll get rid of the itch and pop that hemmy at the same time. Of course, you'll probably end up in the emergency room with eternal bloody ass, but what the hell!

I gets an itchy bum when a stormheads about to get up on the horizon. Also, I gets a tingling itch there when there is a big delta breeze. I usually tell my friends there's a big storm coming in, but I don't let on how I know! Also, one time me bum started itching right before an eartquake.

Anonymous Coward (not verified) -- 04.15.2008

this post is epic. i had a class 4 bum itch and i was growing my nail out to itch the dickens out of it. then i tried washing my butt crack and it worked!

Anonymous Coward (not verified) -- 04.29.2008

As I type this, I have my left hand plucking my ass crack like a butt harp. The skin is flaking and dropping on the floor forming a "soft mat" on which to walk.

I'm 38 now- male and married. I have had I.A.S. (Itchy Ass Syndrome) since I was a kid in varying levels of scratchdom. It's no joke as one writer put it- "You don't know what kind of scratching we're taking about." If I didn't scratch it, I'd go into convulsions.

Sometimes, ther eis no itch until I am "horozontal" in bed then the tingling begins on my ass crack and balls. I have "sleep scratched" my ass and balls to the point I have a pile of "ass crumbs" on my bed sheets. I have to wipe them on the floor in the moring then go get the vacuum cleaner.

I tried hydro-quack cream to no avail. I self diagnosed as a "fungus" and tried Lotramin AF and all it did was burn like hell and peel all the skin off my nuts after 24 hours like old shrimp shells. It was fun to peel my balls though.... Nice new pink balls to scratch.

I also wash WELL - scrubbing and using different soaps, drying my ass crack and wearing boxers too.

I noticed some people SAY tried the rubbing alcohol, but I didn't see ALL their replies or whether it worked. Maybe they're still screaming ???

As a matter of science, I will try it and get back to you all. Today is 4/29, 2008. If you hear a scream , it is me.

Also, for me, the "sweaty ass" aspect of the ass scratching I have is the new "soft ass" skin growing in over what was just scratched off. This new skin is soft and scrapes off on fingernails and into rolled dingleberries.

My wife said my ass crack (near the bung and top) looks scarred and horrible and she's not worried about my being violated if I had to go to prison. None of the guys would want me to be their "Melissa" after seeing my crack.
WHEW !!!

Not pretty, but that is it.

Happy scratching until next time.

Fingernail Fun (not verified) -- 05.06.2008

All things have been tried for this itchy spinkter and besides a long sharp fingernail the best result to satisfy the itchin has to be the alcohol swab up the ahole trick just stuff it up a little and go to sleep the initial pain is kinda like sticking a hot shishkabob skewer up your butt, but the result is worth the pain no more itching and I have a free hand for the rest of the night to focus on other things.

Good LORD! I just tried the alchohol trick and it made me drop to my knees and shed a tear. The burning was intense. Now I just feel burning, but the itch is gone! YEAH!

Just tried the alcohal. I layed on the bed for about 10 minutes yelling into a pillow. The worst part is, that it hurts so freakin bad that you want to tense up every muscle in your body, but when you tense up your ass cheeks.............It squeezes MORE alcohal from the cotton.............Which brings more pain. I'm still recovering from the burn, but the itching is gone!!!

Should this fix me for good, or will I need to keep burning off my asshole?

pain in the butt (not verified) -- 08.16.2008

I am tired of all this itching. I'll feel fine and then boom! I feel the itch come on and sometimes I can't stop until it bleeds. I get skin flaking off and my ass crack. My ass must only be scar tissue by now. I have tried lots of diffrent things and recently I tried purell even before I read about the alchohol idea. Purell is Ethyl Alcohol 62%. I have not tried again becasue of the burn, but after reading the posts here I'll try again. This is going to be great if it works becase it is somewhat like a gel when you put it on The purell should apply really well. I let you know how it works.

SCRATCH "N" SNIFF (not verified) -- 08.18.2008

Been scratching since 2003 and still going strong. Theres nothing like a good decent scratch to get the eyes rolling back in the head, the skin flying everywhere. But the pain after mmmm well not so good... I am a class 5 easy, instead of creams from the doctor how about an power sander or freddy krugers hand... I mean im sure the cat can use it as a scratching post... I have to say though my experience in itchin has been quite the experience, late nite finger crawls, rubbing back and fourth on the couch so my friends wouldn't know, worst would have to be the crippen itch at your ex-girlfriends house, when you just gotta scratch, you go for it and dam do you go for it...I just say i had a nightmare some alien was trying to crawl up my arse... All said and done, seen doctors, tried enough creams to open my own shop... Gonna try the fire blaster soon (alcohol) if not, well then im a proud owner of a arse that looks worse then a 90 year old vagina... Pass me that angle grinder please... :)

daphne (4509) -- 08.18.2008

I have this Avon Foot Cracked Heel Cream. It's got anti-bacterial agents in it and a good amount of lidocaine. There's no reason it shouldn't work on your butt.

I hope someone tries it and tells us how it works.

Arse On Fire (not verified) -- 08.26.2008

I have been itching and scratching for years. Like others I have tried a million creams and now an anti-fungal powder.
Nothing works. Tons of doctor visitis.
I am about ready to try this alcohol. But maybe this which hazel first. I don't know if I have the courage to have my ass burn like that.
But if it really works It will be worth the pain.
I'm 28 and sometimes I actually resign myself to thinking...oh well I'm getting older, I'll just have to live with this until I die.

prarie doggin (4011) -- 08.26.2008

AOF, (bells ringing, sirens wailing) you are the lucky recipiant of one of my rare serious comments. You probably have a hemmi, and witch hazel will help. Douse up some paper towels, shove it where the sun don't shine and hold it in for 30-60 seconds. Witch hazel doesn't burn near as much as alcohol and will relieve the itch. If your doctor has not been able to tell you this, you should consider a new one.

ChiefThunderbutt (3061) -- 08.26.2008

Arse On Fire (not verified) -- 08.27.2008

I tried the witch Hazel. If this burns less than alcohol I can only imagine that using alcohol is like sticking a blow torch up your ass!
When I applied this witch hazel I was running around my apartment screaming like a fire engine.
It did temporarily help with the itch and irritation but just temporarily.
Has anyone ever tried an anti-fungal pill like difluken for to cure the itchy butt?
It is something my wife suggested that apparently works wonders with female yeast infections.
Oh by the way, since I seem to be unable to control scracthing in my sleep, I am going to go to bed with winter gloves on.
What a calamity my life has become.

daphne (4509) -- 08.27.2008

Do you mean Diflucan? I'd give that a shot if I were you. The yeast in a woman's hoohoo is treated differently than the yeast elsewhere on someone's body - you can't use something for internal membranes and get results on external membranes. Treating it like athlete's foot might help.

See your doctor and ask for a skin culture if he or she can't for sure diagnose your trouble. Maybe you can get a referral to a dermatologist.

After years of itchy leaky butt and many trips to many doctors, I finally got rid of it with a round of powerful intestinal antibiotics which made me sick while taking them. After 2 years it came back. I self diagnosed it as a fungus and used anti-fungal foot powder. 2 weeks later I'm cured. Hope this helps someone. It sure beats alcohol and witch hazel which made me scream too. Good Luck.

I along with everyone else on this site appears to be having the itchy, irrated rectum. However this problem has only been happening for the last 5 days. It started after a weird, bowel movement. The more I wiped it seemed the more pooped persist. Once I thought I was cleaned; an hour later I went to the bathroom because the itching was unbearable, I wiped and it was as if I had just finished taking a bowel movement. It's weird, is this some kind of parasite?? Every since my rectum has been itcy, sore, and I can't seem to throughly cleans myself. I'm using Ivory soap etc. I'm not sure any suggestions???

Cotton Balls (not verified) -- 11.01.2008

I have two words for you: ANAL AIR!

All the things that like to grow in your crack love moisture and hate air. so PAT dry with toilet paper and then hold your cheeks apart for at least 15 minutes morning and night. With a fan or A/C blowing on it if possible.

The rest of the time (day and night) put a cotton ball in your crack next to your asshole - absorbs moisture and makes an anal air pocket (read this on CNN.com). The cotton ball may be the most important part.

Sleep bottomless for more anal air.

As for alcohol? in addition to killing germs, it dries your skin. and you probably hold your cheeks apart in pain, letting in air.

Wash daily but GENTLY. go easy on the soap, and rinse thoroughly and immediately. After showering - more anal air.

Other things that may help are no sugar, and daily acidophilus.

Cotton balls are better than bloody balls.

So, I had an itchy bum hole. I am a respectable, intellegent, beautiful woman and this shameful secret was itching me alive. Can you picture a perfectly manicured hand digging in her behind. Not pretty. So, I decided to man up and try the alchol cotton ball swab. At first, it had me cursing like a dirty sailor, but i took it like a man and about a week later the itch went away and I have been itch free for a couplle of months now. Actually once you get past the fire burning up your ass hole, it actually came as a relief to me. ANYTHING is better than an itvchy bum ... including alcohol. :)

Hi, I am also reading these in the hope I can find a cure for my long suffering bum-scratching husband! About four years he has had this now and has been to the docs 3 times with no cure!! Think I'll get him to try the witch hazel and then the anti fungal foot powder if the first doesn't work. Think he will try anything now as he is just about off his head! Some of your comments have had me in stiches althought not funny if you are on the scratching end of it!! I'll let you know what if anything works!

I've had an itchy anus for about 6 months or more now. drives me insane, used to have vaginal itching but that kind of went away. was constipated a couple months ago but the nice doctor administered me an enema, and boy didn't i love that, went to sleep with a smile on my face. But yeah, all you do is put milk on a cloth and hold it to the anus, so cold and soothing, and the milk has healing properties in it to heal that scratched raw anus. I had anal intercourse once, maybe I might try it again when this heals.

I've been victim of the horrible anus itch for two weeks now! It all started after taking antibiotics for bronchitus. I had diarrhea like 15 times a day for a couple days cause of the side effects of antibiotics and ended up wiping my ass so many times it was starting to look like a ruby red grapefruit. I've been putting some shea butter with aloe vera in the bunghole, but that doesn't seem to be working. I'm so tempted to stick my finger in my ass crack and scratch like there's no tomorrow. Will try some of the suggestions here and hopefully get rid of this ass itch.

sirscratchalot (not verified) -- 02.20.2009

I too have had the puckered hole itch for about 2 months. I'm a very clean person and use flushable wipes after every bathroom visit. I had anal sex for the first time during last summer and wondering if It's cause of that but I just want to take a steak knife to my anus and slice it up, that's how bad the itch is. I've been to the doctor and they tested me for yeast but only in my love canal not my poop canal. This is embarrASSing and I have no love life now. I'm afraid to try the alcohol but I may try the foot powder. Shouldn't doctors know what this is? Why do we have to suffer so long cause they can't figure it out? Please excuse me while I go rub my asshole on a cheese grater.

I read it in the paper, Seen the doc and he said possible. In the mean time i use Advantan fatty ointment at night, It helps as long as i dont continue to scratch, which as you all know is hard. If all else fails i get a ice pack on it and within 5 minutes im off to sleep...... Hope that helps you all....

I've never cracked up so much in my life! I feel your pain (literally, or anally). I have to admit I've scratched. I've found that while washing in the shower with some liquid soap on my fingers helps a lot. It lets me scratch but also helps get rid of whatever the heck this is.
After reading all your comments, I think that I need to cut the sugar out of my diet, butt also shower immediately after the gym rather than waiting until bed time. A sweaty backside can't be helping.

One more thing, I'm thinking about getting a bidet (after poop ass washer). They sell ones you can hook up to your toilet. Tell me if any of you have had luck with one.

Guys, I have tried rubbing alcohol twice... it's the best relief... The first time it hurt a bit more... two weeks later I tried again, it the burning was much more moderate..... It works really well, and I think it kills all the bacteria down there.. It makes me feel clean... ( and yes, I do shower regularly...) The relief you get afterward is heavenly......

Does everybody know that parasites only become active when the sun goes down. They also become more active when there's a full moon. Wouldn't be surprised if y'all got a case of worms!

fixed. (not verified) -- 03.26.2009

hello all, i had been cursed with an incurable night time (mainly) itch for about 10 years. i'm pretty sure it started with some cheap soap at the age of about 16 and by 28 i could not get to sleep without scratching till i was sore. over that period i saw 2 completely useless doctors, the first of which told me it was completely normal and that creams will just make it worse. great. the second doctor actually gave me some cream (anisol i think it was) and proved the first doctor completely right. then i decided to try will power!!! i tried handcuffs, waxing, washing, sleeping in jeans, gloves on, getting drunk, stoned, moisturising, soap, alcohol wipes (ouuuuch!!), worm pills, etc etc... AND THEN ONE DAY :D my girlfriend, frustrated by how little sleep we were both getting, booked me into a third doctor. i was pretty skeptical and by this stage, convinced that the itching was not a physical but emotional reaction, was ready to be referred for counseling or hypnotherapy. i told the doctor everything about the other hopeless doctors, about all the things i've tried and how i thought it was a mental problem and he just stayed calm, lets have a look..... he discovered dermatitis, prescribed me a cream to take twice a day for 2 weeks and told me that he was 95 percent sure it would work. and it did!!!!!! its called 'kenacomb ointment' (acetonide 1mg/g, neomycin 2.5mg/g, gramicidin 0.25mg/g, nystatin 100,000 units/g)

yay.

Try New Skin. It seals the fissures and stops the itch. May take a couple coats. Beware, this product contains clove oil so be prepared for the burn!

itchy arse is the worst what is it an infection of the bung hole, my ass is infected right on!

Anonymous Coward (not verified) -- 05.19.2009

So like many of you i have suffered for years, haven't tried the alcohol thing and i probably wont ever heh, i went to the hemorrhoid specialist who offered a cream called procalcydal or something like that, it works ok. Anyway i do have a solution, it worked for another fellow sufferer i met in real life and myself.

I just drink alot of water when the itch starts or before i know it will start(in the evenings), 500ml-1L and it goes away in a few minutes, ive been really surprised that i haven't been able to find any info about drinking alot of water, online to cure this, anyway, try it and get back to me, the bonus is drinking lots of water helps keep excess weight off!

Attention all who suffer from itchy asshole, it could be something totally benign but, itching insanely around the anus can also be one of the warning signs of anal cancer. If I develop this condition you better believe that I will be showing my plump old butt to a doctor for a professional opinion.

I know what happened to me I jumped down a rock wall and when I landed I felt like I was just about to loose it. My legs hit the dirt and all I could feel is a heavy pain in my tummy. I didn't move for a few seconds cause I knew something was wrong I felt it yank my intestines bad. I did not feel hurt but I guess thats because there is not many nerves where it pulled in my tummy. After that a few hours later I did not want to eat much but I felt like taking a crap. What happened was I crapped out a small bit of something bloody and gross and I looked at it like wtf. Thats when I could not control my anal running of moisture. Now it is a little itchy only when I lay down it starts to run watery crap and I put a piece of toilet paper dry between my butt to stop the itching and to catch the watery crap then I wipe it off in a few and go to sleep. I'll do this every time it gets really itchy but I've been threw this before and all I am worried about is the inside of my tummy. I need to eat good food and a lot to keep my crap flowing so I don't build up inside and cause a infection. Thats the thing I am worried about the most. If it gets any worse I'll have to see a Dr. to clean out my butt and find the problem to fix it.


Alcohol is good but the itch will come back if you don't eat really healthy. I drink water a lot and I don't want the stuff that is runny to stay up there so flushing it out before it gets itchy is the best thing I do.


I understand why people have this for years, the part of the that stopped working correctly might have happened in an accident as little as jumping down something larger then your body can handle.


The way to let your body heal is to take it easy on your belly like I am cause I hurt myself so I know I can fix it.


It still feels weird eating some food and getting ready to crap but this tummy problem wont let me. Oh well over time the small nuggets I drop will turn back in to the logs I love.

ChiefThunderbutt (3061) -- 06.23.2009

AC......Pardon me for saying so but you are foolish to not see a doctor right now. Some things do not heal themselves.

My Arse Is On Fire (not verified) -- 06.24.2009

I am surprised that there is not a Terrance and Phillip South Park episode covering this. If it is an anus thing, I would try switching soaps or look into the parasite angle. If it is a horrible itch that first felt like a fungus placing roots into every nerve ending in your ass crack I don't know but I have had it too for a year and a half. When I first had the itched, it hurt so badily that I wished death upon myself. I have seen the Doctor, fail. Tried the otc ointments, fail. And will now try the IPA(Isopropyl alcohol), not India Pale Ale, but might dump a six pack of that first. If you have scratched it raw, get some HIBICLENS from your pharmacist and get that healed up first. It would suck to get MRSA on top of the ass itch from hell.

iTHINKurGOOFY (not verified) -- 07.27.2009

u guys are too funny, but ill tell u one thing, rubbing alcohol does in fact work. if u dont wanna go with the burning sensation, i would def try peroxide or cortizone cream, then rub it off with some baby powder leaving it silky smooooooth :D

oh ya,...be gentle to ur hole, and ur hole will be gentle to u.

Anonymous butt itcher (not verified) -- 10.01.2009

I've had ass itch for over FIVE FUCKING YEARS! I went to an ass Dr. He said Hemmroids. Had surgery, zonked on pain meds for almost a month. I had to have a catheter up my dick for 2 weeks after surgery. All this was WORTH IT to end my daily torment. Guess What? After all the pain and $4K I still owe the fucking hospital, I STILL HAVE A ITCHY ASS!!! I'm clean, I don't use soap on my butt like the Dr. said as it dries it out and irritates. I was told to stop drinking beer and eating red meat... FUCK THAT! I'd rather shit into a colostomy bag for a few months. After my roid surgery, it's been the same , if not worse! Really bad burn / itch after I poop. Leaky butt.. Like I have to wipe again a few minutes later. I put a dollap of Eucerin on some TP to lubricate the wipe and to moisturize...helps in cleaning, still itches. I'm at the "end" of my rope!!!! THIS SUCKS!!!!

sittingpretty (2394) -- 10.02.2009

Anonymous butt itcher, you have to take your itchy butt back to the doctor. Don't stop going to the doctor until he resolves your itch. That is what I did when I had an itchy butt. It was pruritis ani and it took a while before it stopped.

Class 5 anal itch (not verified) -- 10.12.2009

I have been getting anal itching pretty bad for a few years now (at least), so far, anything that I have tried has only given temporary relief.
Things that helped me are Aloe vera gel (cooling and soothing) and Sudocrem (seems to work pretty well).
Last time I was at the doctors I meant to ask them...But the girl doctor was quite young and pretty hot so I chickened out...

I gotta say, if laughter is the best medicine, this thread should have helped me heal a lot.

itch-b-gone (not verified) -- 10.17.2009

Like lots of people, use Alcohol. What I did was dabbed a few cotton balls in witch hazel. I put them on the itchy parts (for me, anus and lower you-know-what) and sat on them for 15 seconds. It was ok for a few minutes and then it started itching again. I looked on this site and it says to use alcohol but it burns like shit. It started to get bad and I'm just like "screw it" and i put the cotton balls with rubbing alcohol on the itchy parts. The anus and alcohol doesnt burn as much as the more sensitive parts do (you know what i mean by sensitive parts...). I just used it once but I'm gonna do it again in the morning just in case if its pinworms or something, yet i tried the tape experiment and nothing came up. I think its just a yeast infection or something. Thanks everyone!

Anonymous Coward (not verified) -- 10.26.2009

If you are scratching your ass especially at night, chances are you could have pinworms. Why is it that people take their dogs (whom are often living in house) to get wormed every year and then think that we couldn't be just as infected by worms? Pinworms are more common than you think and they come out and night and hatch eggs in your ass. You then scratch your ass at night and touch you face eyes, mouth and walla you have just reinfected yourself with worms. Go to pharmacy pick up pinx, take a dose, then wash your sheets and underwear in hot water every night for a week.

A couple of times it has woke me up and i itch away. It is also very moist...and smells of pure arse!!! How do i perform the alcohol trick? Help me please!

Tinkerbutt (not verified) -- 11.03.2009

I'm a very cute and clean woman, but I've had this itch for 1 1/2 years now myself. My doctor told me to use Prep-H and also prescribed me some anti-itch cream called Clotrimazole-Betamethasone. It works most of the time but ONLY temporarily. Itch comes back a lot of the time with bowel movements, so I have to keep refilling my prescription. Also, it doesn't always itch at night (so dr. said probably not worms). Still, like everyone else it is agony when my butt itches and ecstacy when I scratch in the shower with Dove body wash!

What is the LONG-TERM solution?

I'll try the milder Dove bar soaps and not the body wash, and maybe I'll try the peroxide before the alcohol, but are these permanent solutions? And what about witch hazel gel, tucks pads, Gold Bond powder, Kenacomb Ointment... sounds like they all work. But do they work for good?

Most importantly, I've been using flushable wipes every time I poop for a couple of years now, since I used them to potty-train my daughter. Could these flushable wipes be the cause of my itching problems? They don't seem to bother her, but I wonder if they are what is causing MY ass-itching? Anyone else use these? I've used Cottonelle and Charmin flushables. Are they bothering anyone else?

sittingpretty (2394) -- 11.04.2009

Tinkerbutt, I feel that you have a fungal infection that might respond to a systemic antifungal like Diflucan. I have used almost every wipe under the sun. I am also one of the most sensative people around. The only time I get a little irritated by the wipes are when I wipe about 15-20 times in one day. On a regular 10-15 day wiper I don't get itchy usually.

Many of you just have worms , try eating garlic as your first food in the morning , see a butt doc the eggs you get in your hands every time you scratch goes to your mouth and start the cycle again , cut your nails , scratch using a napkin or globe , wash you clothes underwear with very hot water to kill the eggs for 2 weeks at least .

ChiefThunderbutt (3061) -- 12.26.2009

Thanks a lot Crazy Butt!!....I followed your advice on scratching and now I have an anal fissure from sticking a globe up my ass plus I am banned from the public library!

LOL @ ChiliKahKah!

I've been having this problem for a week, but it seems like it might be an extension of my yeast infection (which is recurring, and no, I don't have diabetes or AIDS, so I don't know why!)

However, the front problem is no longer bothering me-- but my anus itches like crazy! I don't know if I wash that area too much, but I feel like if I don't, it'll get worse.

What I did this morning was wash, put alcohol (ouch), and rubbed the Nystatin I had left over from my y.i. on it...I HOPE it's a yeast infection b/c I don't know what I'm going to do...I'm tired of seeing my doctor and she looks pretty tired of seeing me, too...

Yv (not verified) -- 01.16.2010

Okay, so I tried the alcohol thing-- which worked temporarily, but it was back to itching.

I put on Vicks, which numbed it enough for me to sleep, but I would wake up once the menthol-ly goodness was gone.

Tried Mexsana, but it only worked the first time

I used A&D, but it ALSO only worked the first time...

But it has finally been manageable since I started rubbing baby oil on it! It still itches, but I don't HAVE to scratch and I'm not thinking about it 24/7 now! Guess it must've been dryness from the cold and the hot baths!

Mike Bravo (not verified) -- 01.18.2010

I came down with a horrible case of itchy butt this past summer. After a few months of ineffectual folk cures, I saw a dematologist who prescribed a powerful corticosteroid cream called Vanos.

The cream worked great but it's not for long-term use. My itching started to come back a little bit after I stopped using it -- not to agonizing levels, but still uncomfortable.

Then the dermatologist suggested that it might be the flushable wipes that were prolonging the itching (Cottonelle). I stopped using those and the residual itching has stopped too. So far, so good.

The moral of this story is:

1) Go to the doctor, because they have great drugs these days;

2) The flushable wipes (which I had used for many years) may not be your friend when it comes to curing itchy butt (just use TP dipped in water if you want something moist to wipe with.

ITCHFREE (not verified) -- 01.30.2010

Read through all these post.

I can't say this will work for all because probably we all don't have the exact same problem, but what I found for my itch experience is consistent with many on this board,

I have found that over about a 3 day period, my itch has been significantly reduced by applying rubbing alcohol - it almost seems as though it is gone.

The type of alcohol is the 70% rubbing type. I used it after morning shower and then going to bed. Bed time dose seemed to eliminate much of the night time itch trouble (this was the worst time)

It is not a comfortable experience using the alcohol, but after the initial 10 second burn, a wave of relief hits and lasts for awhile. With each successive dose, the condition seems to lessen. Pretty much cured now it seems ('seems' being a key word)

I saw two doctors, and neither got this far with helping me. If you are desperate, try this for a couple of days. 1) Put some alcohol on a cotton ball or tissue or whatever and apply it directly to bad area. 2) Grit teeth and wait 10 seconds for burn to go.. 3) See how you feel. 4)Do it 2 or 3 times a day if you have some progress.

I like most of you have tried EVERYTHING.....after years of INTENSE-CANT-FOCUS-ON-ANYTHING-BUT-SCRATCHING followed by HOLY SHIT IT BURNS.......there's no relief, just one long cycle of itch, scratch, burn, try not to scratch, repeat. My doctor has tried everything.....testing me for celiac disease, hydracortisone cream, baby butt rash cream, poop test for wornms, changing my diet....and now for the most rediculous one, a $53 tube of nitro glycerine cream that is normally used on people with bad hearts! tried it one night and actually started to black out a bit. supposed to relax the muscles and stimulate the blood vessles which in turn will get it to heal faster. It actually felt better for 2 days. Then the insane itch came back, and like someone else wrote....you'd have to amputate my arms to stop me from scratching. I'm fed up. Think i will also try the rubbing alcohol and report back. Thanks for all the comically informative posts!
