Anal itching

[Aphiwe]

Hi all, I have anal itching and I'm using an unusol cream. I went to test for diseases,I'm healthy,I googled and they are saying a lot of things such as too much liquid,spicy etc are some of the causes. It's really embarrassing and I even wonder if it will eventually go back to normal

All depends on the cause. If you are a gay or bisexual man, did you have tests for STI's inside the bum ? are there any skin changes visible outside ? common causes are skin issues and haemhorroids. Depending on where you live, you can also have pinworm/threadworm infections also.

I went to test for my status and I'm all healthy and yes I did have sexual intercourse with someone but he's also negative and I had this before we even had sex but I'm seeing a doctor this Friday

Ok great , I think the area needs to be examined, hopefully it is a sexual health doctor you are seeing

Hi there I ha the same problem before, a year ago for 3 years. I tried everything from the expensiest to the cheapest medication and ointments. I promise you nothing works, eventually I was seen by an specialist in gastrointestinal dysfunction and after done tests and so on. She said the sphincter in some people tents to relax more that it should and some feces from your bowel. In some cases us temporarily in others could be permanent but that is more regular in seniors in a young person it will correct after some time with a good diet and good higiene. So what I did is stop using toilet paper immediately and I got this fidet to rinse my anus every time u got to the toilet and even if I don’t defecade I still rinse my anus to keep it dry at all times. It is working, more higienic and cheaper than toilet; you buy one once and that us it. Now to get started you have to start by rinsing your anis with warm water every time you feel itching and for nit reason scratch yourself and you will be fine. Good luck

Try putting coconut oil in your ass. I have done it and it helps greatly. Just make sure it is unrefined and organic.

Stop using toilet paper and wash with water after a poo. Use toilet paper just once then get a bottle of water and wash.
