From time to time during the sumer time...i get this anal itching, tingly sensation in my anus area...why is that? I know i am setting myself up for sarcastic answers...but this is a real question, for the last couple of nights i havent been able to sleep well because of my anal itching, i tried using "cortisone" is there another out of counter product i can use ? Why does this happen? Is it bacteria related? Someone told me if i wash it with vinegar it will go away, is this true? Also im a male in my mid 20's, not gay and taking INH medicine for my TB

pinworms are famous for being active around 10-12 pm. If you test positive for them (your doc may ask you to do the scotch tape test a few times to capture some eggs) it's a really simple treatment, just 1 pill and a repeat. You also mention summer time; hot weather is fungus season, so you might try anti fungal cream, like a cream for yeast infections or athletes foot. I'd go easy on the vinegar idea. Keep very clean with plain warm water; you might want to wash that way after each bm until this clears. Don't be afraid to discuss with your doctor, this doesn't even rank in the list of gross questions they hear in a day.

most of the time anal itching is related to hemmorhoids. Preparation H or Tucks pads may be of help. I also find that just washing down there with soap and water helps, wouldn't use vinegar, frankly that would burn like crazy. If the anal itch doesn't go away after you have tried all of the above, consult your doctor, you may have a parasite.

i get it too, dude. it sucks. it could be anything from fissures or hemmorhoids to intestinal parasites trying to exit - which is gross, but the average human is infested by over 100 different types of parasites - some good, most bad. i'm still looking for an answer myself. hydrocortisone works, but you shouldn't use it too much (once a day for a week - read the directions). hopefully someone else knows...

Those are tiny worms my friend. Wash your hands more often and you should not feel the itch again. See a doctor if it keeps itching longer than 3-4 days. (no kidding)

It may be because of some parasital worms like enterobius vermicularis

This could be due to worms. Check your faeces when you go to the toilet. You do not have to be a child to get them.
