Ok, it's been a week now and I've had ups and downs thx to reading this page. My butt was so itchy I woke up crying and drove myself to the 24 hour pharmacy. Mind you I'm a 42 year old man, this condition has been so frustrating, embarassing, and has taken over my life.
I tried tea tree oil. A little relief.
I tried Apple Cider Vinegar. OUCH! Made my sensitive area worse.
I tried Zinc Oxide, major change, but now I want the cure.
Witch Hazel is wonderful, but I think we are gonna see a doctor tomorrow. I've narrowed the iritation down to only when I have to poop. What does that mean people?

You haven't been taking probiotics by any chance, have you? I'm asking because I had that problem when I started them and when I went off of them.
The best remedy ever is to take a warm sitz bath after bowel movements. Adding a little Witch Hazel to the water - even better. It's soothing, healing and I'll bet you even find it 'curing'. Good luck. I feel for you. It's no fun.

Its definiatly fungal.. If you do nothing it will clear up in a few years. The firsts thing I would try would be Virgin coconut oil internaly and externaly. Start off with three teaspoons a day and smear the oil into the anal cavity and around the buttocks. If this dosnt work (Im sure it will) then try another antifungal. Wash hands thoroughly to avoid reinfrction.Replied By Rose (New York) on 09/11/2011

Michael it sounds like you have parasites. Garlic is excellent for parasites.Replied By Sahara (Somewhere, France) on 09/12/2011
Hi Michael! This problem will stop if you eat a pinch of paprika in your meals.
By the way I m still looking for a natural solution to clear out a marisca. It's a peace of skin hanging outside anus. I had this after giving birth. Thank you for your help. Sahara

Back in 2008 I had a bad itch not only on my Butt but also on my anus, upper thighs between the legs, both tesicles and the tip of the penis. From what I now believe it was most likely a male yeast infection or some type of severe jock itch. Even though I used tea tree oil and aloe it came back with a vengeance. I then found using 91% Isoproply Alcohol on cotton rounds or on cotton pads applied to the areas that itched took care of ALL of the itch problems. It will burn like Heck and you will question if this should be happening but it is killing either the yeast, fungus or fungi. How if I could just get rid of the white tonuge... But no more burning down below and that was a couple of years ago. It was driving me crazy... G/lReplied By Brittany (Grove City, Oh, Usa) on 09/18/2011
CC from SLC: You have a yeast infection in your mouth. I don't know of an herbal or "natural" remedy but I had thrush (yeast in the mouth) after a surgery I had and was put on clotrimazole lozenges. It worked in about a week and I quit taking them and it never returned.Replied By Joeyt (New York, New York, United States) on 01/07/2012
I bought a natural cream from England that contains tea tree oil along with beeswax, coconut oil and loads of other stuff. This is the only thing that has worked for me and I would strongly recommend it. I used to wake up three to 4 times a night with an itch and it drove me mad. Of course scratching it caused bleeding and soreness. I apply it morning and night and for the past six months I've been great.Replied By Mr Stuwi (Cornwall, Uk) on 02/26/2014
Once you've ruled out thread worms you have probably got Ani puritus, which is really common in adults. Unfortunately there isn't a definite cure, you will remain susceptible to problems, unless you manage your diet, health and hygiene. Rubbing too hard with toilet paper or not cleaning properly are both culprits. There's now help on the market that lubricates and aids cleansing. Hope you get happy relief.Replied By Anon (Usa) on 06/25/2018
Rubbing alcohol cures fungal infections which it may be.
