Anal itching is a common but annoying problem. Anal itching occurs more often in men, and, most of the time, no cause can be identified. Anal itching occurs around and near the anus, which is the opening for the bowels.
Factors that put people most at risk for anal itching are as follows:
Diabetes
Recent antibiotic use
Chronic dry skin conditions such as psoriasis and seborrhea
Profuse sweating
Anal Itching Causes
When a cause can be found, the itching is usually due to irritation of the skin around the anus.

Some of the most common irritants include these:
Perfumes, chemicals, or dye on toilet paper can cause an allergic reaction.

Moisture from sweat or diarrhea may cause itching. If the anal skin stays wet, the skin begins to break down.

Some foods irritate the anus when they are expelled during a bowel movement. The most common culprits are caffeine, chocolate, beer, nuts, dairy products, and spicy food.
Infections such as pinworms, yeast, and genital warts can cause itching.
Hemorrhoids, which cause painful swelling of blood vessels in the anal area, can cause itching.
Cancer, in rare instances, may be a cause.
The most common symptom of anal itching is itching especially at night and after a bowel movement. There may be a rash in the anal area with skin breakdown or a weeping discharge.
When to Seek Medical Care

If the anal itching is associated with any type of rash, lump, discharge, or fever, call your doctor. You may need prescription medicine to make the problem go away.
If small children are having trouble sleeping at night because of intense itching, this could be a sign of pinworms and will require medical attention.

It would be extremely rare that you would need to go to the hospital's emergency department for anal itching. Contact your doctor if you think you need medical help.

Self-Care at Home
Try not to irritate the skin even more by scrubbing the area with soap. This will only cause more irritation and itching. Gentle cleaning with water helps the area heal.
You may try other home therapies.
Change to a plain, soft, unscented toilet paper.
If toilet paper feels too abrasive, try cleaning with baby wipes or cotton moistened with mineral oil. Dry with cotton afterward to remove any moisture.
Wear loose-fitting cotton underwear that allow sweat to evaporate. Do not wear panty hose.
Do not apply any creams or ointment without consulting a doctor.
Avoid food irritants and eat a high-fiber diet.

If it is dry skin on the buttocks, then put some cream or lotion to help the itchies.

Hemorrhoids are associated with constipation and straining at bowel movements. How to get rid of hemorrhoids https://tr.im/i8zlV
Pregnancy is also associated with hemorrhoids. These conditions lead to increased pressure within the hemorrhoidal veins that causes them to swell. Other conditions, for example chronic liver disease, may also cause increased venous pressure and may be associated with hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids are very common and are estimated to occur in up to one-half of the population by age 50.
