I've been using regular white Dove bar soap for many years. I have briefly tried other brands, and always come back to Dove. It is the ONLY soap for me. Also, I haven't had a bath in many years. I only take showers. I believe, if you aren't rinsed well enough, there will likely be irritation. In the shower you can truly rinse off every trace of suds.
So, I am super stoked to find out Dr. Chung approves of Dove. I've come to trust his opinion.
Dove soap is pure win.
Its a great balance between moisturising and detergent.
I recently tried some "normal" fragranced soap and it was like showering with industrial degreaser by comparison.
I used to love Dove because it never left scum, but I somehow found out it had Ingredients in it I couldn’t use, because I’ve been I’ll for years from Lyme and other toxins. I now use French milled coconut oil based liquid soap. I did like Dove, though.
That's what I've used for many years too. Dove white regular soap. Their sensitive version gave me a rash.
@@dianasthings729 I also tried the sensitive version briefly. Wasn't impressed.
@@TheWtfnonamez I so agree.
Thank you for putting all these videos together! May god bless you!
Thank you for calming my mind, as there have been problems with my behind, and a solution I still couldn’t find.
Hey for someone like me who had an anul fistula operation but failed. What could I do to get rid of that smell behind 😑😩?
Grandfather would tell the old tales of walking to school 5 miles in deep snow, uphill both ways here in Appalachia. They had outhouses then and the Sears catalog would be gone by Christmas, then the dried corn cobs by Easter, then it was sand rocks. They only had home rendered lye soap, YIKES!
No, that was me in Indiana! LOL! 😊
It's so much easier to get soap in there than it is to rinse it out. Leaving any soap on the skin will irritate it. Get a hand-held shower head so you can rinse well, even if you don't use soap! Also, pat yourself dry, don't rub. Rubbing will increase any discomfort you have. When we have a problem, we seem to always want to do something. A lot of times doing nothing is a better option.
The hand-held shower really helps clean that Area, and really reduces the Skid Marks, if you shower after you give Birth to a Republican.
Soap dries it out. I rinse with my fingers. I Don't use soap. Put Vaseline sparingly on it later. I know one that just washes his bum with hair conditioner only as soap dries your skin out.
Remember, when one uses water whilst cleaning, nothing sticks to your other skin like your hands. Of course wash hands after or in the shower.
The best way to get poo off your skin on say your hands if it happens with happenstance, is to wash with a decent dish handwashing detergent. It gets rid of the smell as well as the clean.
@@Mcfreddo wouldn't it stink?
@@KikiLopre No. Wash the hands with soap of course. Sorboline is easier on any skin.
Most of the world's population just uses water to clean after their daily business. Toilet paper's unheard of- if you didn't realise? I'm not religious, but Muslims clean this way in that regard and then go about their day.
@@KikiLopreYeah, his finger😂
Dr. Chung , my skin is very sensitive and I have started using baby soap actually ! Use it for my whole body. Thank you for your information .
I use dr bronners soap unscented soap or the peppermint one
Dr Chung, you are amazing!
Lol glad he has a sense of humor with the lesson
Have a great bidet!
Personally, my skin doesn't like Dove. I have had good luck with a gentle, moisturizing bar soap with coconut.
What soap was that if you don’t mind me asking please
Very interesting Doc!!! I use just a tiny bit of the suds from the unscented liquid Black African mild body soap, then rinse very well with luke warm or cool water and pat dry.
No soap at all is not an option because I eat keto (high fat) mostly, and water alone, even if warm, will most often not get it completely clean.
Hey for someone like me who had an anul fistula operation but failed. What could I do to get rid of that smell behind 😑😩?
I asked my doc (the one who passed) why he chose to become a proctologist. He said they hadn't used the term "proctologist" since the 60s. Then, I asked why he chose his specialty. His response was, "so I can deal with asses on a daily basis." Hardy hardy har.
Colorectal surgeon is the modern term but more people recognize the word proctologist. Deal with asses?? - Such a lame response! Is that all he could come up with?
@yourfriendlyproctologist That was just his "way." He would throw in an occasional expletive, and he spoke down to some of the nurses that he felt were beneath him. BUT I trusted him. He was wise and very experienced. The new female specialist (who took over my case) is quite a bit easier to talk to. She's experienced too, but I don't think she has been doing this for AS long.
@@tenderpawsm473 I get it…it’s just the way he is. I still think it’s lame! Lol.
I was having some itching on my anus and my doctor suggested I wash my anus with just warm water. He said soap wasn’t really necessary to wash your anus or genitals. It did work for me but I went back to fragrance free body wash. I lather just once and make sure I rinse thoroughly.
I'm having issues now. So you only use water to wash your bum? How is that going now? Would you recommend anything for someone going through this
BIDET SEAT FROM HOME DEPOT IS THE ANSWER! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND SEE MY POST ABOVE
I LIKE THE NAME OF A FRIENDLY PROCTOLOGIST. I THINK IT'S VERY FUNNY. BUT THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS TOPIC . MANY PEOPLE DIED OF CONSTIPATION FOR NOT DRINKING ENOUGH WATER. A PERSON DEVELOPED CANCER AND I ASK HER BEFORE SHE DIED IF SHE DRINKS ENOUGH WATER. AND SHE TOLD ME THAT THE TASTE OF WATER WAS SO BAD THAT SHE QUIT DRINKING WATER. SHE ONLY DRINK SODAS. REST IN PEACE. MY FRIEND. I'M DRINKING 18 GLASSES OF WATER A DAY. AND AFTER A MONTH I LOST 20 LBS WITHOUT DOING A DIET. 190 LBS ÷ 10 =19 GLASSES/CUPS OF WATER A DAY LIKE 4-5 CUPS EVERY 3 HOURS. GOOD LUCK ON LOOSING WEIGHT. ALSO WALK 20 MIN EACH WAY FOR 40 MIN A DAY. AND STAY HEALTHY
I use Unscented Dove Bar Soap, on a Synthetic Shammy to wash the area, after a thorough Rinse with the Hand Held Shower.
My GP in UK also recommended Dove for all intimate areas.
Do you have a video on IBS? Itchy butt syndrome?
I used natural home made soaps some soaps has to much chemicals
I use cetaphil sparingly. I try to use all ointments etc sparingly now.
I usually use non scented dove but started to use heavily scented soap for a brief period. The scented soap irritated and made my hemorrhoids bleed. It took me a bit to figure out what was causing it.
I think a simple answer is to just not use soap. Use a non-soap cleaner which can be used all-over that way you don't tend to have any issues anywhere. Since I stopped using normal soap years ago, I've had little to no issues with my skin top to bottom. 😁
What do you use?
@@pommymom I normally use QV Gentle Wash and sometimes Dermaveen Soap-Free Wash. Please note, as I usually have either a crew cut or a shaved head, I never use shampoo. Cheers from Down Under. 🦘🦘🦘
Body wash does a good job
Soap is a bonding agent...bonds with everything, good and bad.
I was horrified when I found out I was allergic to Dove soap. All I can use now is Ivory soap. I still don't understand it. But, yes, my butt itched and it was so bad! I would've done anything to get rid of THAT itch.
Water is good.
Dove soap without perfumes is my go to, ivory works too but dove has lotions for skin.
Which dove soap should you recommend. I was using dial gOLD
Thank u doc! ❤
I use dove,peta free so no animal testing like Paul Mitchell which i use and it’s great 👍,I do have stage 4 hemerroids but I’m awaiting for surgery
Giving a gentle, outside-only, dab of plain handsoap after using the pressure-washer helped me a lot. I used to be harsh when soaping in the shower and it made me raw and threw me into an itch-cycle, now that I soap as part of the toilet routine it allows for more sensitive touch without sacrificing thoroughness.
Oh and note that the bumps should be tucked in before applying the soap.
Nothing says clean butt like a 5000 PSI pressure washer, think harbour freight sells anal attachments.
Bumps?
@@lynncrf the cherries
Doc. I used to work in a grocery store many years ago. We used to sell different color toilet paper. Scott brand I think. I remember it would never sell because of rumors that it caused rectal cancer.
Have you heard of this before? Since then, I’ve stayed away from any colored or scented toilet paper. And this was 14 years ago that I learned this.
Interesting. Maybe that's why all the toilet paper is white these days?
Same here! Pink, yellow, and blue were the choices...remember scented, too. Haven't thought of this in a long time
I remember Scott had the blue and pink color toilet paper. I always thought they colors were pro and wondered why they didn’t make them anymore.
Pretty*
I believe it’s not as popular because too many people had sensitivities to the dyes and/or fragrance, but I’ve never heard of the correlation between that and cancer.
Can you please talk about the anatomy of the last 2 inches of the alimentary canal? I learned that there's a mudroom just beyond the back door (anus).
Your video about proper wiping really made a big difference for me.
😂😂😂 Love when he said, “your bottom end get’s lots of action”!! 😂😂😂
Dr. I have a very legit question. How do you trim or shave your butt. I am a very unlucky one that has had follicles irritated where I needed surgery to be removed. My Surgent recommended shaving the area which I have been doing but I think i irritated my skin sooo bad that now it has hurt for 2 weeks. Now I need to know if shaving it is good or bad or better to just trim it. what do I use???
Hey Dr. During my experience, soap was the only object that could help me tuck in the hemorrhoid. Please get it taking out early, don’t wait for stage 3 and 4.
Nobody:
TH-cam: Can soap be BAD for your anus?
Thanks Doctor. Great information. Aussie Bob
Bottoms up!
Your the best
I went to natural soaps years ago, that solved any issues with irritation and itching.
What about Neptune? Is soap bad for Neptune?
😅
You should create a line of safe soaps called "Dr. Chung's Butt Soap."
Im about ready to go soap free this year for body and clothes.
What about rubbing your body down with different oils? Is oil ok for your bottom? Such as olive oil, caster oil, etc.
You can put olive oil on your face it has vitamin e in it I use it everyday and ingest it it's good for smoothing out blood sugar but you could try some goat milk soap
I’m pretty sure using normal soap is bad though right? Like you need to use soap-free soap otherwise it irritates…
Doc I wish I could get access to you in Jamaica.
I used the same dial soap for 20 plus years then one day mu skin said no. It started giving me a rash on my face & lips, made my vjj smell like death fish, and skin around my anus crack open. I started using CeraVe unscented bar soap and it all went away.
They swapped it to sodium laurel sulphate on you
@@janeblogs324Your comment makes no sense.
@@sassyt1545 they added a secret ingredient when the customer wasn't looking
Yes realy so many factors. I personalt the soap worked for me well but rexently not so.
One of the most compelling lessons I learned in elementary school was, "go to bed with itchy butt, wake up with stinky finger."
What say you, doc?
I like using goat milk soap best.
Wow, a pre-lotion civilization! They don't even use oil.
Great channel!! Why does the pancrease disrupt my BM?
If your using your hand or a washcloth...aren't they then contaminated with e-coli?
I happen to use that same Dove non-scented hypoallergenic soap on my butthole daily, and even an inch or so inside it (via finger) [ yeah, tmi, I know! ]. I never experience any irritation whatsoever, but I do wonder about the long term risk of cancer!
I do it with any soap that I happened to have, first time with the soapy finger, then clean one, usually you can't get in the third time with a clean finger, 70-80% of soap is washed away. Never had any issues or irritation.
@@JamesSmith-ix5jd- I used to use a lubricating jelly instead of soap years ago, but it was too much trouble. I figured that would have been the most "hypo allergenic" so to speak.
Thanks respect sir ,
Wich laxative safe for long term use please guide?

Salads, greens, all vegetables many servings a day. Don’t be lazy.
@@elsagrace3893 Steam broccoli, drink lemon water, apple cider vinegar
having a bidet sprayer and or a shower enima system makes life so much easier...i just use soft soap and just make sure everything is clean and properly rinsed off...than i apply a bit of hand sanitizer to kill unwanted germs which create offensive odors through out the day it does burn a bit at fist but over time your skin gets used to it...I've been keeping this type of maintenance for a long time with no issues but everyone is differant
There’s a shower enema? Sorry if I sound daft but just turning 60 the butt problems are just starting for me. I did an enema once about 10 years ago for the first time and the way that thing flushed my system was unbelievable but still don’t know much about it and should start looking into how often it’s recommended. I remember of a show with Seinfeld and he said he gets it on some sort of schedule. Any ideas what’s the recomended intervals? 2 times a year? More or less?
@@carlospenalver8721No one should ever do regular enemas even if you're having medical issues. Once when I had a episode with constipation I used an enema twice that week and worked right out. Never had to use enema again. If you are using enemas to relieve constipation, you'll do better getting to the root of the problem rather than continue relying on enemas for relief. You probably need to change your diet as with most stomach problems are related to types of unhealthy foods we are eating. I would recommend holding off on the enemas and trying fresh fruits and vegetables first. They have a high content of fiber which is what regulates our bowel activities. There's many other natural remedies that can help too. I'm currently taking Metamucil everyday to get more fiber in my diet. Now that I've been taking it my stools are more pleasantly consistent unlike before they were number 6 on the Bristol scale.
Be careful and tread lightly. Peace and blessings from our Master and Savior Yahshua the Messiah.
I cant even touch it, is so sensitive and painfull. Cant use any soap.
Go see a dr
It reminds me of a saying by Confucius, "Never Wipe Bottom with Broken Bottle !!!"
Hey Dr for someone like me who had an anul fistula operation but failed, still have the leaking. What could help to kill the butt smell coz even if I do sit in bath or bath 3 times a day people still react weird around me and sometimes it's even hard to tell if I smell or not but I can feel the smell after some time
doct wat is difference between fissurectomy and lis ?
this question has been added to the list. stay tuned!
I actually use a dish soap called Ecos "Free and Clear" plant powered soap. I discovered this by accident when I ran out of soap and grabbed the dish soap to bathe with. Since I started using it I don't have hemorrhoidal symptoms anymore, and my bowel movements are back to normal without constipation from a swelled anus. Now I only use that to bathe with. It rinses easily without soapy residue. It has only like 7 ingredients.
I had never heard of a Proctologist until I heard Joan Rivers joking and using the term years ago. 🤣
Can we use intimate hygiene wash such as PH level of 5-6 PH level
I would ask you why wouldn't you want to use such a cleanser?
Hey doctor I was wondering if I can get your had a absence removed about 3 days ago from my rectum area and I was packed I don't enjoy the packing too much as it is painful how much longer should I continue packing my wound
Thanks for the question that I would never ask Ass man, or is it Ass Doc? Also thanks for the ass watch reference Christopher Walken.
Soap is a metallic salt of a fatty acid. That's really all you need to know😁

Why is this video being recommended to me TH-cam?
The algorithm has seen the patterns and carefully considered before concluding: Yep, you're an asshole. Could be worse: I get fed videos of naked children -- a result of my research on bubble bath formulas.
I take baths but my anus still smells. Why? How can I take care of this. No rash no pain no burning.
Must have watched Pulp Fiction, there was a Scene talking about a POW and his Watch...
Well, you heard it here first folks! Stop cleaning your anuses! L O L
If I need advice on looking for a watch from a proctologist, my problems aren’t entirely medical
Not enough people care about good anal hygiene, IMHO. I don’t care if it’s bad for my anus or not, I scrub down there 👏 EVERY 👏 SINGLE 👏 DAY. My biggest pet peeve is people who walk around smelling like swamp ass, so I make certain to get that area good and *scrubbed.* My soap of choice for down there is tea tree oil shampoo. The tea tree oil strips the area of all the filth and oils that accumulate everyday, arrests any odor, and leaves the area smelling fresh as a noonday country breeze. Been using the stuff for more than a decade now. Gave me the itchies at first, but I got some cream for that and my anus is as tough as nails now. I hit that area with the shampoo first thing in the morning, and then make sure to give it a THOROUGH rinse. There’s way too many people out there inadvertently leaving unpleasant smells everywhere they sit because they don’t bother washing properly “down there.”
For years I've used Assurance large premium washcloths. Not only are they cheaper than toilet paper (90% of the time I only need one), but they clean extremely well. These are non flushable. I just throw them away each time.
Soap dries it out. I rinse with my fingers. I Don't use soap. Put Vaseline sparingly on it later. I know one that just washes his bum with hair conditioner only as soap dries your skin out.
Remember, when one uses water whilst cleaning, nothing sticks to your other skin like your hands. Of course wash hands after or in the shower.
The best way to get poo off your skin on say your hands if it happens with happenstance, is to wash with a decent dish handwashing detergent. It gets rid of the smell as well as the clean.
Dial bar soap works for me. Rinse butthole with shower head, lather with dial bar on a soft wash cloth and leave suds there for 2 minutes before rinsing. No butthole odor at all until the next bowel movement. Cleanse with water wipes until next shower.
Dang I never thought of soap not being a good idea. I wash with dial antibacterial and I always use it to clean my crack. I never really had any bad things happen but I never had tried not to use soap and just rinse it well instead. Guess my routine will be changing from now on and do myself a trial period for a few weeks.
You put dial antibacterial back there?😮 I can't even use that on my hands because of its harshness. I couldn't dare put that on my unmentionables.
@@Palmetto-J what soap do you use for your shower routine?
@@kennymmmKay For my baths I use a variety of Dove coconut and shea butter formula; soft soap; Olay coconut body wash. As a woman I also have the option of using Summers Eve Intimate wash for that area.
@@Palmetto-J I was thinking about getting some dove antibacterial body wash next time I need to buy shower soap
Hey is that watch analogy a reference to Pulp Fiction and the watch in the butt?
It depends on how far you shove it up there. 😂😂😂
Doc what could be my condition my anus skin (outside and inside around) is very sensitive? The skin would get stinging pain (similar to when you over scratch a mosquito bite) from time to time like it would react to my poop. And it doesn't heal fast - I noticed also that it is more likely to happen when I'm stress. My poop frequency and quality is generally okay thanks to fiber. I would appreciate your response.
It can be many, many things. You should go see a specialist.
Same here; I feel it may be related to what is eaten. I know for sure some spicy foods can set my butthole area on fire for a day or so
Can I use hand wash?
Dove is the best. FF free🎉🎉🎉🎉
Only if you drop it. Please forgive my terrible joke. Seriously, I want it clean. Mild soap is what I use. Its BM's that sometimes make my anus irritated and sore.
Is nightpanther okay
I use shampoo. Not because my ass itchrs but because i want to clean the hair. Also wonna clean the inner hole fastly without wasting time. It does sometimes cause a stomach ache but i can handle that.
Sir please give me answer I go toilet and wash anus very bad smell full days why
Try Baby shampoo
Doc there is a lump in my anus and there is a sticky yellowish liquid that itches and I don’t know what is going on
Is it better to use your hands then a loofah for your bottom?
Depends. Be gentle no matter how you do it.
If you drop it in the prison shower, it could be. But maybe the soap isn’t the real root cause
I wish I could come see you. 😢
In other words can I eventually stop packing my wound
In the army I went without bathing for days and sometimes weeks... we were told to use hand sanitizer on our butt and everything in-between... it burns like he'll for a few mins but it is effective.. hooah
A nine minute video with three minutes of information. Like the other Your Friendly Proctologist videos I've watched so far, the discussion rambles on too much and too long. Suggest preparing an outline and keep the videos concise and to the point.
Man, this guy says things jokingly, but give them a try, and you'll be surprised.
They're saying goat milk soap is good
menthol cream?really? that seems counterintuitive
I keep getting hemorrhoids after I use the bathroom,how do I get rid of them permanently
You're not eating enough fibre that should be in your diet. Whole foods- rinsed off vegetables and cooked enough to get your nutrients. Eat fresh whole fruits as well. Not juice drinks. Stay away from processed food places like the company hamburger joints. That's refined nutrient lacking junk food, with extremely little fibre.
If you're American, (North American, by your spelling: hemorrhoids,) don't eat those sweet junk food breakfasts like pancakes. White flour, no fibre in it. Starch and nothing else. All that junk makes you constipated and that is why a person ends up with haemorrhoids, but make sure you do drink enough water. Your body requires water and it'll take it from your gut. Drink. Don't drink sugar drinks like sweetened soda. It's water alone.
The only way to rid of haemorrhoids is to have them cut out by a surgeon. A physician like this guy who has made this video. (A haemorrhoid is the thing that remains after the initial ballooned vein from the pressure to pass out the stool.)
I hope this helps.
