Itchy Bum: It’s not nice and always a worry having to see a doctor about a concern you have regarding your health that only a medic can remedy. But when that concern involves your bum, it becomes an even bigger concern because now you’re likely worrying over the embarrassment, due to the body part you'll likely have to talk about and possibly show.
Everyone one scratches their bum, so you need to brush aside those blushes. Okay, maybe not as often as them that suffers from Pruritis Ani which is the medical term used by doctors for anal itching.

This condition not only affects men like hearsay has it but women too.
There are several causes for itchiness in and around the rectum, anus, bottom or bum, whichever you prefer to call it. Determining the cause of itchy episodes ups the odds of treating the problem fast and effectively.
Threadworms, haemorrhoids and allergy sorts are noted as three of the possible culprits for causing itch, along with fragranced products used for genital bathing. Even certain food and drinks are listed down as causes also. Acidic fruits and chocolate is known to bring irritation to the bowel also, so good reason to take these off the menu.
Diarrhoea as we know it means regular passing of scuttery loose stools, which in return causes anal soreness brought about by the constant trips back and to too the loo. To ease the discomfort that’s’ happened because of this, use damp toilet tissue rather than dry tissue to clean afterwards. Doing this will cool the area and make the wipe easier. Damp tissue will glide down the bum crack more smoothly, as opposed to the rub hard dry tissue.

Persistent itch should be checked out. If you choose to put up with the itch no matter how annoying it is, you can damage the skin to a point where it brings a bleed. Bleeding comes from cuts which therefore mean the skin is open making the area vulnerable to infection.
Small children are regularly treated for worms which encourages itch, so it’s important that you make sure their undergarments are changed regularly, as the same goes for you, that is if suffer this and embarrassed to admit that you do.
Take care
