v.private - not for squemish - anyone have itchy bum???

[miranda2]

And its NOT worms - i thought of that and have treated it, but still there (unless the pills don't always work??). Seems to be the old episiotomy scar - sometimes gets a bit itchy, then its really tender when you scratch so becomes a vicious circle. (ds now 2.7 so not exactly a new scar!! Has always been a bit funny, the scar - odd texture etc, and the perineal skin very papery since the birth (forceps).OMG, am I really discussing this online???!!! Hell, thats motherhood.

Have you tried calendula cream on it? It's very good for sore/rough/itchy skin and for healing eg paper cuts.

Some piles make you really itchy. Try witch hazel, or haemmoroid cream. Soaking in warm water for 15min a day (if you have the time) can help.

Tushies wipes are good too. I used them instead of toilet paper after dd was born.

(Whoops, didn't mean to post then.) But avoid any perfumed wipes. If you want to wash your bum after the loo, try using a small bottle of water with a sports cap.

Wash throughly every time you go to the loo. This is very easy and quick if you have a bidet, but worth doing even if you don't.

can I suggest a peek at this wonderful embarrassing problems webpage? all types of unmentionables dealt with in a no-nonsense manner

Anusol. Ointment (purple tube) works better than the cream in the green tube. Wouldn't use the steroid one.

Piles. I bet.
