I’ve been to the doctors 3 times about this, pharmacist once and googled it 100s of times. This is a sort of last resort to see if anyone has any advice from a similar experience.
for the last 3 years I have had the most itchy anus. It’s driving me mad! 2 different GPs have looked. First, when I was only 1 year or so in to the itchiness said the area looked really healthy. 2nd (2.5 years into itchiness) said she could see a small skin flap. I had also see this and it’s quite new but I think it’s because of all the itching. She gave me and anti fungal cream to try. It helps for a few hours and itching starts again so I don’t think it’s fungal as surely it would go away?
I have tried:
- sudocrem
- aqueous cream
- the honey and olive oil moisturiser recommended by menopause book I read
- aloe Vera gel
- witchhazel
- worming tablets
i have massively reduced my alcohol intake as thought that could be irritating it. I do drink coffee but not all day.
i don’t use any scented shower gels - have tried the dry skin washes, aveeno etc.
i am clean - generally shower twice a day and if I feel I need it I wash after a bowel movement
i look in mirror regularly and I do agree with the doctor- it does generally look healthy. No white patches or obviously irritated skin.
help!
thanks so much
