    I am currently experiencing a horrible rash. I’ve had it once before. It’s a fungal infection. Dr prescribed LamiSil, Ararax for itching and triamcinolone acetonide 0.1 % cream. It’s the weekend so I have cream to use, not the other. I messaged my dr and hopefully will get back to me on Monday. I am having urine/bowel leakage issues that probably are causing the problem. I am having a procedure soon to correct these problems, so hopefully this will stop. But right now I’m miserable. 😢😢😢. Thank you for sharing this information!

    I get itching bottom too. Never scratch! Makes it worse! It is an infection so what I do is I get a warm water strong paper towel with soap on it and rinse my bottom. Then I use a plain warm water paper towel to get rid of the soap. Then I get a dry paper towel and make sure I dry good. Sweating? I do the same thing. It works.

    Ivermectin sorted me right out. Don't want to get graphic but I had so many parasites my shit looked like shredded wheat. My stomach was moving all night like a chestburster was about to come out. You could see my tummy rippling from so much movement. I ended up having nightmares where I would cut myself open to get the worms out. The psychological damage was very bad.
    *No doctor accepted* that I had a parasite infection, they *never* believe in parasites. Even after showing them photographs.
    So I went online and bought animal ivermectin and took the correct dose for a great Dane. After five weeks the shredded wheat was gone. Also, I cut out sugar. Also I took to squatting to go. It clears you out better. It's much more natural and healthy. I started to sleep like a baby. I cannot tell you how at peace I felt.

    I use baby wipes (much cheaper than actual toilet wipes which are basically the same thing anyway) after wiping with toilet paper as even the softest 3ply toilet paper can feel so dry like sand paper for me, plus toilet paper alone doesn't always leave you clean. You just feel so much cleaner and fresher after using baby wipes! We use them to clean up babies bottoms thoroughly after bowel movements, so why not adults!! If I just use toilet paper, sometimes I will get itchy and know I'm not fully clean in that area despite wiping as thoroughly as possibly just with toilet paper. I have to carry baby wipes when using public toilets as the cheaper scrachier paper in public toilets is like sand paper to me and after using a public toilet after a couple of times, I will start to bleed slightly in the area just like I'm using actual sand paper. The more I use the cheaper paper, the worse the problem becomes and the bleeding will get worse. One day while travelling I thought I had burst a haemorrhoid (which I knew I didn't have one) as the bleeding got so bad after a few trips to public toilets, no it was just the toilet paper tearimg me to pieces!! If I do start bleeding it also gets extremely painful in the area so I then have to use a haemorrhoid ointment (more like a clear gel) that works wonderfully to help the pain, bleeding and inflammation in the area and help it heal a lot quicker. After wiping the painful area with normal toilet paper, cleaning up thoroughly with soft, cool, wet baby wipes feels so good then the ointment gives instant relief from the pain in the area as it gets more painful the more you have to wipe with normal paper in public toilets. So to me, baby wipes are a life saver!! I originally bought the ointment for haemorrhoids one day and then discovered how wonderfully it worked for the bleeding and pain on the outside from scratchy toilet paper problems, like I say to people...Im very delicate in that area. I have chronic health conditions so have had to deal with a lot of constipation, haemorrhoids, ibs ect over time and wish baby wipes were around when I was younger!! Thankfully I've learnt what triggers my constipation, ibs ect and have changed my diet ect which has improved things greatly, but still love the feeling of 'being clean' after a bowel movement. For people who say just use a bidet or wash yourself afterwards, well we have water restrictions here in Australia as water is so precious so bidets aren't really common here for that reason, actually its pretty rare to find bidets in homes at all. Or having a shower after each bowel movement just seems so time consuming and awkward. Plus baby wipes are so convenient and cheap to carry in a bag or have a stash in your car with multiple uses. They always come in handy for many things like just refreshing your face, wiping and cleaning hands after eating ect and cleaning up mesees and spills in your car. Just don't flush them or toilet wipes down a toilet!!

    I had this and it drove me mad. Was starting to scratch pretty hard so saw my GP. If you scratch too hard too often you can damage the delicate tissues around the old A hole. Anyway he prescribed some ointment called Mometasone Furoate and it sorted itself out after a few weeks......stings a bit upon initial application but the relief was great. Word of advice cheap rough toilet paper doesnt help nor does germolene or vasoline. I thought it was Haemarroids at first but the Dr said it was just inflammation.

    Thanks doc, very concise. Mine situation might be slightly different though. Damaged most of my cartilage between my L3-L6, which makes me not as mobile as I like. With me pushing 60 I also seem to be getting mini hemorrhoids every few months. Usually relieved by carful scratching up there with moisturizer. Just saying, I know you probably don’t approve. I have cleaned normally for years followed by a deep clean with a deep moisturizing lotion wiping after. Prob due to the OCD with being on the spectrum.
    At any rate your mention of moisturizing is great and cleans better than wipes ever could (I’ve tested once or twice out of curiosity).

    The itch is absolutely overwhelming.
    Then the pain comes.
    It’s terrible and I’ve tried absolutely everything including seeing proctologist and a dermatologist.
    Just not getting better.

    I was watching my dog in the backyard one afternoon. He had this problem and seemed to find relief scooting around on his butt on the grass.
    Naturally, seeking relief for the same issue I began to do it. It worked WONDERS! No more itchy, angry anus.
    On a side note, do you have any home remedies for carpet burn?
    Also, where is the cheapest place in town to rent a Rug Doctor?

    When it gets triggered ONLY by sweets, sugary drinks, chocolates, ice creams etc, if we avoid it, it still takes 2-3 days for itching to subside. Any cream that can be used during that interim period to stop the itching due to more than normal Sugar intake??

      Had to come back and thank you again! I just received the cream and applied. It has such a nice cooling sensation. The itch disappeared immediately. I will come back for others to hear how it works besides this once I've used it a while. I have a feeling this is it! Never heard of this in all my searching.

    • @ut1987

      Final feedback - I am all healed up and without itch since using Calmoseptine. It was the cure for me. I am still using wipes during BM's to safeguard the area but I am 1000% better. Get CALMOSEPTINE - OM what a relief.

    I had nighttime itching that kept me up most nights and reduced my quality of life. It was mostly anal, but also genital and whole body. My dermatologist just said that we don't really know what causes that type of itch, but probably neuropathic. I went on gabapentin a year ago for a different reason and haven't had any problems since.

    He missed a major one: urushiol. Cashew, mango, and pistachio contain the same allergenic compound found in poison ivy, poison ivy, poison sumac, etc.
    If your ath itches like crazy, and you don’t know why because you took a shower-and you know how to wipe like an adult-and you happen to eat these foods, then you might be having an allergic reaction.

  • @johnbunker5102
    @johnbunker5102 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    It took many years and a lot of close observation of "time of year" and unique dietary items to discover that " urushiol " was my issue. Years ago, cashew nuts were a delicacy and only appeared around Christmas. As time has gone on, the nut has become far more common and less expensive. The problem is that urushiol is present in the shell of a cashew. Improperly prepared cashews can be contaminated and eating them can cause a reaction. Urushiol is what makes Poison Ivy an irritant. Eat badly prepared, cheap cashews and you are basically eating poison ivy. Anyone particularly sensitive to urushiol can develop Pruritus Ani.
