One big factor not mentioned is that diet aggravated flatulence during sleep which can leave particles of excrement on the skin for many hours before waking.
I was similar to you in trying lots of different thing to sort out my anal itch and found the easiest most effective way was to use simply soothing wipes daily. I was quite depressed about having this problem as I have been putting up with it for nearly 3 years now. Constantly having to have showers to calm down the irritation and apply cream. These wipes really sorted me out and reduced the irritation.
How long did the methylene blue injection last? did you get permanently numb or did you get the feeling back? im considering the same as nothing helps, not even diet.
I had severe anal itching for a couple weeks. I tried many things like hydrocortisone, monistat, witch hazel wipes, fresh aloe vera (which irritated it further), epsom salt baths which helped only while in the bath until I came across turmeric. I used it topically and this really helped me. It was the only thing that stopped the itching immediately. Coconut oil helped the healing process too.

I had really bad burning and itching in my butt for years. Made me insane. It was so bad to even walk or sit. I had an application by the doc (I think you can get it over the counter though) of methylene blue...it cured it right away but the problem came back later. Finally found out it was candida causing an infection. Did a lot of candida research, what worked was a regimen of supplements such as aloe vera (orally), grapefruit extract, olive leaf extract, caprylic acid (the best one) and a couple others, rotated about weekly and cutting out all sugar and bad carbs like white bread and crackers, etc. Cut out dairy and citrus. Don't cut out all carbs like some say to do, you'll feel horrible and stop the treatment. And it's not necessary. Just eat lots of vegetables, whole grains, and fruit, and take the supplements, about two or three at a time, rotated to keep the candida from getting immune. Also you're killing good bacteria as well as bad, so you must, must take a probiotic to repopulate. I highly recommend kefir. Also, the only thing that worked for the itching and pain was tea tree oil lotion I got from natural grocers (I'm sure it's other places, maybe even just use the oil). Clean well (don't itch or scrub!) and apply as often as needed, also helps slightly inside the anus. It helped so much, I would have gone nuts without it. I kept up the regimen for several months, you have to stick with it and do it long enough to kill all the bugs and fix your body's balance. I've now been cured for about two years, no new problems!!!!
If possible use aloe vera wipes and just place it on the hemorrhoid. Mine was external so it was extremely painful but once you place the wipes, it cools the area and shrinks it slightly which i find comforting. Also, i was bleeding cause my hem burst and after a day of using tissue to stuff it and control the bleed, i changed to aloe vera wipes and it works wonders to the wound. i changed about once in 2-3hrs and it shrinked within 6 hours, relief was almost immediate and i could sit on my thighs then.
18 years old and a victim of hem for 5 days and counting.
I am From India and want to buy Pranicure Ointment. from where can i get ?
please respond
I've had idiopathic anal itch for over 10 years now, ever since in high school. Nothing has really worked permanently. Sometimes it itches so bad it's unbelievable, like I have no power to resist scratching it. And somehow it magically comes on right before bed...
Desitin based creams heal the area quickly after itching, but become ineffective if used often and don't prevent itch very well.
I came across an article on the web the other day about a study that was done a while back using Capsaicin cream derived from hot peppers. I'm trying that now, and so far it relieves itching better than anything I've tried. Haven't scratched it in at least a week now, which is amazing.
Zostrix capsaicin %0.025 can be diluted with vaseline to 1/4 the concentration at %0.006 and applied whenever the itch occurs. It will burn like crazy, but it's not a truly painful burn and it feels good compared to the urge to itch imo. I'm hoping it will work longterm. The study indicated that most people did achieve relieve after about 1 year, with daily applications keeping the itch at bay.
This is only for people with long term idiopathic itch. If a recent onset, it may be fungus or something. I've had it for years and tried everything, so I can only assume it's not a fungus. Scratching only damages the skin and makes it worse.

It sounds like you may have eczema. Is your diet dairy free? I assumed dairy free was common in India. If you do consume cow's milk, cheese, cassein and whey products, you may want to stop completely and see if your skin improves.
Good luck to you.
Oh, I forgot to thank falconry for giving me the idea to use the gold bond powder in the first place. I'll keep you all informed of my progress to see if this actually works long term or if it's just another quick fix.
First off, I must say thanks to you, the original poster, for putting this out here in the first place. It takes courage and strength to admit there is a problem with our behinds, so to speak. I was all prepared to make the trip to the store for the proposed ingredients of this amazing formula when I decided to use a touch of the gold bond powder I just bought for other reasons. It goes against common sense to put powder on an itchy, dry, cracked, bleeding problem… but that's exactly what I did... and guess what? It's working!!? Wow… could it be that simple? Maybe mine is a result of a fungal infection after all. Any kind of cream will only keep the areas moist, right? The powder acts as a kind of lubricant of it's own I guess. Please let me know if anyone else has had success with this remedy. I should also mention changing your diet to include more fiber is always advisable and I found this awesome fizzy powdered magnesium supplement (taken orally) that makes everything much softer if you know what I mean. Plus I read that Americans are chronically deficient in magnesium anyway, so it makes sense to supplement with it either way. Try it. I hope it works. Let's get this ridiculous problems solved once and for all. I'm not paying another cent for Prep H and other pharmaceutical drugs that only perpetuate the problems they are purporting solve.
That is great information. I suffered from anal itch for years. Desitin only worked for a while and then was infective for me. I found the only sure-fire cure for me was honey. Here is my formula...
Buy a jar of natural unprocessed raw honey at your health-food or vitamin store.
Then buy a bottle of Astroglide personal lubricant. Mix them up together thoroughly. Use just enough Astroglide to get the honey to the consistency of thick oil.
Use a Nitrile examination glove on your hand and dip your finger in the goo. (I put mine in a small empty ibuprofen bottle) and then stick your finger up your butt and massage the itchy or swollen areas carefully and thoroughly.
Honey is a natural antibiotic with healing properties. The Astroglide makes the stuff slippery so that the honey can be easily applied painlessly.
The best honey to use is Manuka honey. I have used other honeys, and they work also, but I have found Manuka is the best. Manuka has been found to have high levels of an antibacterial phytochemical and has been used in medical trials for wound healing. You can only find Manuka honey at a health food store or vitamin store. You can order it online as well. Just google it.
Hope this helps somebody.
I have had the dreaded anal itch for years. It has been embarrassing and more importantly a source of discomfort. I have tried everything from soap and water to preparationH. I even tried baby powder. It works your anus gets so dry it starts to crack and begins to bleed. I read other places that people have used Gold Bond powder with great success but I figure it will result in the same situation as baby powder. Instead of the gold bond powder, I got gold bond cream. I comes in a little 28g tube. After years
of daily scratching, I haven't scratched my hole
for four days. I have looked into why it works and basically the reason is the active ingredient menthol sends the cooling signal faster to your brain than your body sends the itching signal so you don't feel the urge to scratch. Its probably not a cure but it has brought comfort back to my anus. I hope this helps someone.

Aloe Lotion is a wonderful, all-purpose, skin lotion with a high content of pure, stabilized aloe plus Jojoba Oil and Vitamin E to moisturize and soothe the skin. Collagen and Elastin are added to this fine mix to assist in keeping the skin smooth and supple. It is an ideal choice for applying to dry, chafed, wind-blown or weathered skin. It was recommended to me to soothe my nether region after having radiotherapy for prostate cancer and experiencing an itchy scrotum.
you can obtain it direct from www.alovera.co.uk
Google "Pranicure Ointment" and it should be the first thing that comes up. If that doesn't work go to PruritusAni dot ORG...hope this helps!
Where can I buy this Pranicure Ointment. I am trying on Google but still can.t find where . Cheers Harry.
PRANICURE OINTMENT CURES PRURITUS ANI (ITCHY BOTTOM)!!!

I'm telling you...I suffered with pruritus ani for years--I have been using this for 5 months and I swear it's the absolute cure. One bottle lasts 3-6 months too.
Rather than trying to spend the money on all of this stuff put together, you can buy a bottle of this Pranicure Ointment. Seriously, it has been an absolute miracle worker for me.
Hope this cures your embarrassing itch as well as it did mine!
I tried that remedy and it was pretty effective. I also tried fire in the hole anal itch spray which doesn't contain any cortiosteriods stopmyfire.com it was especially effective over time.
Hello,
May I ask you a question, how do you feel yourself 3 years after?
Could you elaborate, how did you know that these combination of ingridients would help you? Did you tried to use them before separately?
I suffered from anal itch/swamp ***/monkey butt for years. I heard about analitchcure.com from a buddy and have no symtoms. Total relief for about 20 bucks. I wish I had found out about it years ago.
analitchcure.com has changed my life... for the better!!!
Before I really started changing my hygiene habits and tried making the cream, I had itching for about 2 or 3 months. It began getting worse, which is why I took action. I can't believe it when I read that some people have it for years! I can only imagine how much it would affect one's life to have it that long. It is SO annoying! It takes over your life.
After I wrote this piece, I continued application until the tiny jar ran out (about a month), and I have never needed it again. My hemorrhoids are also not bothering me at all, but I also have been eating better and better, so my BM's are much easier.
