Anal Itch Remedies

This is an odd remedy! When I eat kidney beans (usually mexi beans) the itchy bum goes away. I only need to eat about 2-4 teaspoons of it a day and it keeps the itch away. Get some mexican beans and give it a try, their yummy so why not (= just make sure they aren't using some other type of bean.

Background - I have diagnosed autoimmune issues, in particular Ankylosing Spondylitis ("AS" .. in remission). Associated with AS are some gut issues like Crohn's disease, inflammatory bowel disease and ulcerative colitis. I am not diagnosed with the gut issues but I suspect maybe some mild form.

In my case sugar and alcohol generally make the itch worse, especially at night. However eating kidney beans protects me from both.

A reduced gluten diet is good… but a sugar-free diet..at least until a person is cured ...is better.

2 parts that helped cure my itchy bum.
Internally: You must stop eating/drinking anything with sugar. This is coming from the guy who used to devour Krispy Kreme dounuts like cookies. But if you are serious about stopping this itch, then trust me and go sugar-free; at least until you stop scratching for awhile.

Eat Green Food and Drink Green Juice. I had a box of AG1 greens and drunk a pack every day. This will improve your digestive health and gut health. Wheat Grass is also cool.Also add a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar to anything you drink…at least twice a day. I added it to my tea every night in addition to a little bit of coconut oil. It has theascetic acid that provides the anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties your body needs.

I also cut a small piece of garlic in half and swallow each one; you can also buy garlic pills but the fresher ones are more potent. And I would eat salads with arugala and it would be nasty because I would not add any dressing or sauce that might have sugar. Google The Strongest Candida Killers in the Anti-Candida Diet for more things you should eat.

Externally: I tried a lot of creams in the anal area to stop the itching including one that costs $50 called pranicura. It did soothe the area in the beginning, but Im not sure if its the cause of a rash I developed a couple of days later. I had to get a prescriptionfrom the doctor for an anti-fungal powder version of Nystatin.

The natural thing that appeared to have worked for me was a little bit of apple cider vinegar in the itchy spot. ACV on a paper towel will burn your butt…but, it will be so worth it afterwards. Follow it up with something cooling like hazel witch ointment or Destin or some kind of cream that you probably have used before; only this time its teaming up with ACV to beat the hell out of this itch.

Please before applying (symptomatic) itch relief, think about checking yourselves for parasites. I have been extensively reading up on parasites in the gut as one of the major causes for anal itching. I'm not sure what the test is, but the cure for worms is usually black walnut hulls and wormwood -- tincture and or capsules. Something else I read was that if you have dogs or other animals, chances are you have worm parasites. I think you can do an on line test for parasites. This is as much as I know for the time being.

Anal itch. Gluten free diet works best.

Have had this anal itch off and on for twenty years tried about everything with no success then I used a tablespoon full of organic coconut oil rubbed into hands with 6 drops grapefruit seed extract then massaged it into the itching area and presto it was soothing and immediately stop itching. Amazing thank you earthclinic people success again.

Arugula kills Candida fast.

Good news! Arugula salad eliminates Candida!

Yes a similar experience. Probiotics and dietary changes also help me, as does .. reducing sugary foods and rice (especially strict at dinner); eating olives; taking omega 3 and wheatgrass (orally); also I use a bidet and pat dry with toilet paper.

Omega 3 is one remedy that works really well for me as a remedy for anal itch. It was most noticeable for me that the symptoms improved the next morning after eating a nice big salmon steak with skin on for dinner. Fish oil works well too, of course, you will need quite a large dose to make it work. I would need about 3000mg (3grams) of fish oil as a remedy, taken at night with dinner.

Wheatgrass powder, taken orally, is currently may favourite remedy for anal itch. One heaped teaspoon mixed in with water or vegetable juice, and drink this once or twice a day. I haven't tested this out with barley grass powder, but I expect it should work too.

For me it is most important to take at night as that's when it is the worst for me. I actually get really sensitive to sugar and simple carbs like rice at night, and that's the main reason. Some kind of dysbiosis in the gut causing the itch and the wheatgrass is helping that somehow.

Olives work well for me too. I find my symptoms have the root cause in the gut. I'm especially sensitive to sugary foods at night and so eating olives with dinner is good. My favourite remedy is actually wheatgrass powder taken orally, but I will have to make a seperate post about that.

Is c s Colloidal Silver? If so, it would be extremely pertinent to state that. Wouldn't want someone to believe it to be anything else would you or consequences could be dire!
Thanks for the post anyway, Chris from Adelaide Australia

Had a colonoscopy and from using toilet paper frequently and washing I was left with an itchy butt. It was driving me crazy so searched earth clinic. Many remedies, some complicated but I read someone ate about 10 olives and it took the itch away. Sounded good to me and pretty simple as I had just puchased a new jar of olives. Nothing special green with stuffed pimento. Anyway I ate about 10 to 15 and then went to bed. No itch in the morning. Good advice. Thanks Earth Clinic.

I tried many different things & my ears, arse, & groin were all still itching like crazy. I was scratching the inside of my ear almost daily with a pen cap. My arse & groin areas were also itching like crazy for YEARS!!! Most likely inflammation & all the supplements I was taking. I was applying acv, rubbing alcohol witch hazel..etc. Nothing seemed to have a substantial effect. I'm very clean & up on my hygiene mind you. I finally went to the dermatologist & she wrote me some fancy schmancy prescription for like $250 + of ointments to which I made a call back to her & asked for something more reasonable. She wrote me a prescription for ‘Triamcinolone Acetonide' LOTION, usp 0.1% for my ears which is great because it's watery enough that it doesn't leave a residue build up that I need to dig out later AND the same ‘Triamcinolone Acetonide' CREAM usp 0.1% for my arse & groin. It all cost me like $50 or around that. Within I think the first day or two, it went away, thank you GOD!!! And that was like 3 months ago and now I just have to use those like maybe once a week if even. I love going all natural but sometimes you have to mix it up. I sincerely hope this helps someone if not many in need like I was for YEARS. Peace & Love.

I just discovered my so called “psoriasis” was an allergy to cream. I was drinking multiple cups of coffee with full fat cream as I am on keto diet. Guess what cut the cream, and problems disappeared. Also potatoes! I would eat my Mickey Don fries and my head scalp “Psoriasis” would get itchy and breakout!

Look at your diet. Are there foods you eat on a multiple basis during the day? Culprit foods, dairy, nightshades potatoes, peppers, citrus, peanuts. You can save yourself medical bills by eliminating foods.

Is it possible you have a pinworm parasitic infestation? They lay eggs on the anus at night and cause itching.

I ruptured L-5 ( bulging disc can also cause this)and it caused all hell to break loose. For years I fought bowel and bladder incontinence. I overcame that : ) ! The bowel incontinence irritates the anus. I read that B-12 and other B's help that, the gut normally produces b vitamins unless it's out of order, then even when you take b vitamins you may not be absorbing them.If it's part of a disc issue or prolapse issue then it means you don't need new spark plugs, you need a new engine. Get out the book and study the car and get ready to buy a truckload of supplements . Nothing is too hard to overcome given time and wisdom. Blessings, Charity

Most women don't understand prolapse until they get one diagnosed. They handed me this pamphlet and explained that the uterus the bladder and the rectum can all three at the same time crowd into the vagina as they fall . Or if you are lucky it will only be one. I was lucky. Thank God.

Nutrient absorption causes them to fail or pinched nerves from spinal issues, or both. See Eric Berg: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdYiUztsxWE

Aloe vera helps with the anal itch. You can also drink aloe vera. Have you tried a cleanse? Sounds like you have candida overgrowth.

Under Ailments on this website look up Candida.

I had various symptoms of Candida including yours. I also had psoriasis on top of everything. Not natural, but I finally took Nystatin internally and Fluocinonide topically for the psoriasis. The Nystatin took care of all the symptoms. You can try going all out on the natural treatments first, which I did, but my symptoms were too severe and unbearable.

Pinworms? Diatomaceous earth is not listed among the 50+ remedies you have tried:

https://www.earthclinic.com/remedies/diatomaceous-earth.html

Use ONLY FOOD GRADE diatomaceous earth.

You might try applying Anbesol to the itchy spot to help not scratch it.

I hope you are feeling better soon. :)

Looks like lots of itchy butt sufferers had to stop their coffee. Dr. Batmanghelidj always said coffee made it so you needed more water because it was a diuretic . So when your minerals or water get out of balance your body produces histamine. Histamine can present itself as itching, hives, hayfever, ect...ect… hope this helps some of you coffee lovers...drink more water and take a balance of minerals with it especially minerals salts...salts hold water in place. Takes up to six months to rehydrate a body …..go slow.

Well, there are lots of things it could be, could be fungus and you can buy fungal creams for women at Walmart near the pads, cool it right down. Could be liver issues and then you need to eat a nice healthy oil to produce bile to digest B vitamins. Could be you eat hot sauce and got fire on the butt. Cool that down with some baking soda . Witch hazel is used for sutures pain. Gotta be careful here to treat the problem.

Can do a sitz bath with some mineral salts. Clove would numb it. What is going on in your sigmoid.....maybe some Colace store brand at Walmart is inexpensive, clear the lower bowel incase fermenting is going on. Maybe you have a prolapse and those are a pain in the butt, I can tell you firsthand. Dhea or progesterone cream or vitamin D with k, or maybe some magnesium, (Epson salt soak).

Lets see what could be the source...do you have any tips that might pin it down? Alpha lipoic acid stops nerve pain and B vitamins help. How much stress do you have? Ashwaganda maybe calm that down. Oh yeah I just remembered there is a vaginal numbing cream like anbasol for the vagina at Walmar . Saved my day a few times. Hate pain. If it's parasites, you need to do copper or borax. Maybe diaper cream that has zin . Okay I'm out of ideas, I did my best to brainstorm with you but you gotta give me some hints.

No, not a cure. Asking for help. I have scratched my butt till it bleeds I have tried all the remedies listed here. Nothing works. I hardly eat any sugar, I'm gluten free for the most part. Try to eat organic and a balanced diet.. Please help, it's becoming unbearable!!!!!

DO not use pure tea tree, it can cause very painful skin burns.

Hey gang, it's me again, Stevesall, the guy who started this itchy, inflamed butt string. I'm glad to see my idea worked for several people. I have more good news to share. I discovered that organic Honduran coffee from Trader Joes, did not cause inflammation or itching, but recently discovered TJs discontinued it at my store - bummer. So I did a search on Amazon and found an organic Honduran coffee - a different brand. I haven't tried it yet, but hopefully it is butt friendly. You know what else burns? A flame about 3 feet high!

Rubbing alcohol cures fungal infections which it may be.

Pinworms maybe? Papaya leaf?

For the excema? behind your ear wet a washcloth with isopropyl alcohol and scrub behind your ear with it 2x/day, also drink kefir and not milk, eat yogurt and not icecream. You may like the oxygenated magnesium colon cleanser (do a search), too. Stay out of public pools and hot tubs. Eat raw turmeric root. That is what I would do and have done. Hope it helps you.

Very interesting because since I have started on probiotics this has happened to me.

I've had anal itch for a decade. A Decade! I tried lots. Spent lots. Recently I began taking some supplements. After about 2 weeks I suddenly realized I hadn't been itching. It's been 3 months now and I'd say the improvement is 95%. The supplements I took had grapeseed extract and devils claw among others. 'm not thrilled with the cost of the vitamins but maybe this information will help you in some way. Now, the eczema behind my ear hasn't improved one iota. All this time I figured the itch was related.

Keep on trucking for that! I've been waiting years hoping one day to write a review here and say this. Such relief.

Anal Itch: Cleaning the anus and area around it with clean water after I have gone to the toilet has help me from itching for the last 4 years. Just plain clean water. Does not have to be warm or hot. I think that too much acid in my poop had a lot to do with my problem

Did the tea tree oil lotion sting upon application? And what brand? Thank you!

Had itch for 10+ years. Tried all the creams, coconut oil, Apple cider vinegar, etc. Nothing worked. I stopped drinking coffee and no more itch!! It's so hard to give it up but worth it :)

I had an itchy anus for 25 years from age 40 on until I found out my arteriosclerosis was probably cause by inflammation caused by wheat intolerance. This was after having 3 stents at age 56.

So I gave up wheat at age 60 and went gluten free and the itching stopped and has not come back.

If I ever accidentally had some gluten I would immediately get the itching and also a small sore that hurt when I wiped my rear end.

I have been told that when you go gluten free you become more sensitive to it as you lose any immunity that you had built up.

Coincidentally I found out that Lugol's iodine was used for treatment of arteriosclerosis so I have been having Lugols iodine for the last 7 months applying it transdermally usually about a half inch in an eyedropper every couple of days and found before Christmas that my gluten intolerance has gone.

I no longer get an itchy/sore anus even if I eat gluten.

I am however not going back to wheat but it makes my life so much better being able to eat it occasionally.

Anal Itch - Hydro Therapy (hot water)

Some people seem to be prone to this problem.

First of all make sure that you resolve any intestinal issue like fungus or parasites. In my case, I was clear of all of these things, but still the itch persisted.

I have been a student of natural medicine for many years and so I tried everything with very limited results.

Aloe Vera, ACV, coconut oil, witch hazel, comfrey ointment, all kinds of natural ointments, natural soaps and nothing worked very well.

In a moment of inspiration, I remembered that someone had posted that hot water relieved poison ivy, so I thought I would give it a try.

Amazingly...this worked better than anything else that I have tried.

To do it effectively, you need a good hand held shower head with a strong massage setting. Simply run the water hot but not scalding. You can gradually increase the heat, but don't over do it. Apply the hot water to the sensitive area using the massage jet setting. I do this every morning in the shower, with the best results that I have ever had.

Sometimes people overlook that the itching can be caused by pin worms. It's not only children who suffer from pinworms.

A simple one off tablet at night can illuminate the itching.

My friends have put up with anal itching and all sorts of medications from the Doc for years..they all denied it could not possibly be pin worms..

Well after trying the medication for pinworms. They are itch free!

Their answer was..."why didn't my Doctor tell me this? And I hàve put up with this for years and it has cost me a fortune in medications for other diagnosis.

Yes, quitting coffee makes my bum all happy again. I had to ween off it completely, drinking even 1 oz of coffee my bum still itched; I get that headache withdrawal, coffee is an addiction. It's hard to stay away from coffee when others in the house are brewing it (sigh). I want to try cold-pressed coffee tho, see if that makes bum itchy. Still a mystery, because I've had this problem for over 40 years since I was a kid and I didn't drink coffee as a kid. My little brother also had this problem as I remember growing up, he was suffering too. I often wonder if my mom passed Candida on to us. No one else in the family wants to talk about it, such a universally taboo issue. On one hand it's so good to hear I'm not the lone freak :( but on the other it means it's a bigger social health dilemma. I eat VERY healthy, mostly organic, though occasionally sugar-binge. I eat good yogurt every day, have made keefir water for 2 years now, and good BM's. So it's the acidity in coffee, wow.

I'm gonna try this cuz I'm going crazy using anything and everything! Probably diet would help too
