Omg after reading all your posts I decided what have I got to lose so I soaked a washcloth with ACV and placed it between my buttocks it really stung but at first but then it started to lessen and now it really feels better thank you all so so much!Replied By Dan (Uk) on 09/08/2013
Arse update - The ACV has worked! But it did start to sting, which I guess means it was working, so I alternated between ACV (diluted) and witch hazel gel for a week. This did the trick. Good luck!Replied By Dan (Uk) on 09/12/2013
Arse update 2 : After an itchy relapse caused by what, I don't know, I decided to try natural bio yogurt a few times - very soothing, and itch has gone - let's hope so!Replied By Richer (Colorado, US) on 03/29/2015
How did you use the ACV to get rid of the itching?Replied By Larry (Shingletown, Ca Usa) on 08/26/2015
I wet a cotton ball with ACV and stick it at the anal opening. It will sting a bit at first. Leave it there for a minute or so. Relief is almost instant. If it has a blood stain on it, when you remove it you probably have a hemorrhoid. You will have to repeat as necessary. But works rather fast for me.Replied By Valérie (Nanaim Bc ) on 07/22/2016
Do you know what caused the itchiness in the first place? Do you apply Apple Cider Vinegar every night? I've been dealing with mine for years.Replied By Jo (Columbus Ohio) on 11/18/2016
I've had itchy rectal area for several years. When I stop using hot spices it goes away- when I go back to hot spices it comes back. I think the spices inflame hemmoroids and fissures and cause itching and pain. I use wet wipes to clean the rectal area after using the bathroom and that helps. Vinegar helps somewhat. My pharmacist told me to use hydrocortisone cream for the itchness for a few days (around the outside of rectum only)to heal and lay off the spices.
