A question about arse holes

I've got IBD so I've lost all perspective of what's normal.

Do people with healthy bowels get itchy bum holes? Thanks in advance.

Not wiping properly?

It could be piles or an infection? Mine only itches when I have a pile flare up!

Oh yes, or worms! Will be hard to see yourself though unless youre a contortionist! Check your dcs?

There is a form of psoriasis that affects the area. Also could be eczema.
In short, many things can cause an itchy arse.

No, except if ive been a bit constipated and its irritated my normally well behaved haemorrhoid.

No, bum holes do not itch unless they need attention.

Acid burn from the ibsd, not being able to clean the acid poo properly, piles.
