Dear Reignz,

At the risk of being called a homeophobic butthole myself, it is my opinion that homeopathic "medicines" are basically nothing but a bunch of hoo-ha. I can't think of a better place to apply such a cream than on one's anus; but only for symbolic purposes since no relief should be expected to be gained from the use of such a product.

There are several causes of itchy ass. Most of them can be directly linked to constipation. Anal fissures and hemorrhoids are common causes of itching. Poor hygiene practices can be a contributing factor as well as sensitivity to dyes or perfumes in certain types of toilet paper.

For relief from the itching, try using a cream consisting of some form of hydrocortisone or witch hazel, such as Preparation-H or Cortizone-10 Anal Itch Cream.

Thanks for asking Motherload!
