If it is clean it should not itch. If you have had anal sex you could have an STD. If that is the case go to a doctor immediately.

Product: Pranicure Ointment I suffered for about 3 years from terrible anal itching and discomfort and tried about every available cream, plus seeing a dermatologist. I found only enough relief to make it just barely livable. It took only about 2-3 weeks to be completely healed with Pranicure Ointment. It's only available online. I'm down to a once every two-three day application. It has been a miracle product for me.

If the itch is due to a yeast infection, antifungal cream or powder should take the itch away. For more info about yeast, check out www.hufa.org - the yeast link.

Anal itching is an intense itching around your anus — the canal that's the outlet for your rectum. The itch, located in your anus or on the skin just around your anus, may be accompanied by a strong urge to scratch. It can be an embarrassing and an uncomfortable situation.
Also called pruritus ani, anal itching has many causes. Numerous factors may cause anal itching to be more intense — including moisture, the abrasion caused by your clothing, and the pressure of sitting. Symptoms may be worse at night or right after a bowel movement.
Anal itching is a common problem that many people have experienced. Don't be afraid to talk with your doctor about this condition. With proper treatment and self-care measures, most people can achieve complete relief from anal itching.
Common Causes and Treatments of Anal Itching
Too Moist, Too Dry, Washed too much?
Our skin does not tolerate excess. Too much moisture, dryness or too much attention can lead, especially in an area that is almost always covered up, to irritation. If the skin in the anal area is too dry look at possible causes. It could be that you may be washing the area but not rinsing properly; are you washing too often or using chemical irritants such as soaps, scented bleached tissues or bubble baths products, some of which can irritate? Changing the detergent in which you wash your clothes is a common cause of itching.
Too much moistness may be a result of the same chemical irritants causing anal itching.
Excessive sweating, fecal or urinary incontinence may mean you need to use a barrier cream to stop irritation. Use creams that are used for babies as they are mild and will not contain damaging chemicals or drugs such as hydrocortisone. Try not to scratch, it will just cause damage to the skin that then cause itching as they heal, a vicious circle.
Foods causing anal itching
Some foods can be an irritant to your digestive system as well as your anus, heavily spiced foods, some vegetables and fruits such as tomatoes, oranges, chocolate or excessive amounts of fiber can all lead to irritation. Some people have food intolerances that cause irritation and /or diarrhea. Try omitting one possible cause at a time so you can work out what type of food is the cause, then cut it out of your diet or restrict your intake. You may need to seek advice from a doctor who can refer you to a dietician if there is no disease underlying the cause of your problem.
Laxatives can cause anal itch
Overuse of laxatives causes irritation, especially as some laxatives are very powerful. If you are young and have no medical condition you should not need to use them at all. Make changes to your diet and add more fiber. Similarly, older people should look at upping their fiber intake to avoid their long term use. Consult your doctor if constipation is a recent problem as it could indicate there is a medical reason for it that requires attention.
Clothes can cause anal itching
Cotton underwear or natural fibres can be healthier for your rear-end as they have a certain amount of absorbency. Synthetic material can cause sweating which can cause itching.
Anal Itching can be caused by disease
Disease can cause anal itching. Diseases include:
Hemorrhoids (Piles) cause anal itching
Piles are a common cause of anal itching. There are many over the counter creams and lotions from your pharmacy that can help. Witch hazel applied to the external anal area with cotton wool can be very soothing.
Anal abrasions causing anal itching
Abrasions that are present for what ever reason, scratching, rubbing or trauma, will cause severe itching. Treat the area gently and keep it clean. If you keep damaging the area it will not get the chance to heal.
Medication can cause anal itching
There are a lot of medications, such as antibiotics, with side effects that can cause anal itching because they cause diarrhea. If the long term medication you are on is causing any side effects always go see your doctor. He may be able to change the drug type.
Skin Conditions causing anal itching
Psoriasis, dermatitis, eczema, any skin disease requires the attention of your doctor. A specialist dermatologist may be the best person to treat the skin condition that is affecting your anal area causing itching. The creams and lotions used to sort out the problem usually contain drugs such as cortisone that need to be prescribed and monitored to avoid side effects that can cause long term problems.
Yeast Infections causing anal itching
Some diseases and medications cause yeast infections, HIV, diabetes, antibiotics.
Anal Tumours
In rare cases anal itching can be the result of anal tumours. Although some will not be cancerous it is important to seek an accurate diagnosis to get the appropriate treatment.
Anal Fissures and Tears can cause anal itching
Often caused by stretching the muscle around the anal opening during defecation anal tears and fissures can be very painful. Requires medical attention to find out the cause and to monitor treatment and progress.
Anal itch a symptom of parasitic Infestations
Common in children parasites such as pinworms can cause anal itching.
Psychological Problems and anal itch
Stress can cause changes to your digestive system that can in turn cause anal itching.
How is anal itching treated?
Initial treatment of simple itching is directed toward relieving the burning and soreness. It is important to clean and dry the anus thoroughly and avoid leaving soap in the anal area. Cleaning efforts should include gentle showering without direct rubbing or irritation of the skin with either the washcloth or towel. After bowel movements, moist pads should be used to clean the affected area, and toilet paper should be avoided. Many over-the-counter products, sold for the treatment of anal itching, are not very effective in the long term. These often contain the same drugs that are used for treating hemorrhoids. Products containing cortisones and antihistamines shouldn't be used for extended periods of time.
