Are you sure it's not just fissures that are constantly healing and reopening and healing again?

I have had these in the past.Self diagnosis- treating the symptoms as this at present.

YES! I've had the problem for years (along with ibs), used creams etc. Didn't realise it could be related to ibs but looks like it might be.

That is one of my symptoms also. I use A & D ointment and it really helps. The other ointments burn too bad anymore.

My second reply but just to say i've noticed a massive difference in the itching (virtually gone) since I've been taking probiotics for my ibs.
