Mine was caused by eating dairy. Stopped dairy and no more itching!

I have had this issue for 18 months after having two kids. I got a prescription anti itch cream which helped break the cycle of itching which leads to irritation and then more itching. I have also tried Lotrimin joch itch spray which ended up working, so maybe it is a fungal problem.

Costco has a toilet seat/bidet in store for $200. My DH knows how to install them and he's not terribly handy.

12:13 here - sorry to say that this has gone on for about 3 years. I do think it is a hemorroid that flares up when irritated, either by diarrhea or by foods I eat (they say often chocolate). Just can't get rid of it, just try to control it.

OP here, yes! Doc seems massively uninterested. I guess I don't blame her...

I'll try some prep H. good idea. thanks.

anyone had this for months on end? i'm wondering if maybe there's no answer and i just need to learn to deal with it. but not sure how, as this is hard to ignore!

I have an anal fissure and it hurts. It does not itch - ever.

I think mine is due to an internal hemorrhoid. However, I've driven myself crazy thinking I have pinworms.

I'll sell you a Toto S-400 bidet for $50 less than you can find online.

Dry gauze or cotton ball at anus opening (not inside!) works like a charm. Advice from a colo-rectal surgeon (not me).

3rd vote for a bidet. I have a hard time feeling clean too, OP and get my share of mud butt. The bidet is spectacular for this. My kids use it too.
