Anal Itch Remedies

You dont need to buy a whole new fancy toilet, you can get on amazon and purchase a bidet that installs on your existing toilet.. they start at about $25 and go up from there. They're super simple to install and they're life changing.

I realized my problem was my toilet paper and abrasives. My toilet paper would tear up as I wiped leaving little pieces in my butt. Also, I usually had to get so forceful/rough with wiping that the area would become so irritated I'd sometimes see little spots of blood on toilet paper before I was totally clean. Also, I would use loofa in the shower and scrub. All of this would leave me with micro abrasions that would itch. Using toilet paper alone is not a sufficient or effective method of getting you completely clean. There is absolutely going to be fecal matter left to some extent. Wet wipes have soaps and chemicals and also can leave debris from the wipe.

A bidet is nothing but clean tap water that sprays you clean. No fecal matter left, no debris from toilet paper or wipes, no chemicals. I use a bit of toilet paper to carefully dab the area to visually inspect the toilet paper to make sure I am totally clean. And I dry myself after with a towel. I feel as though Im freshly showered in that area at all times now. I have no problems with anal itching anymore. And Im saving money on toilet paper.

Another big tip, make sure you keep the area dry. When you get out of the shower or if you do purchase a bidet, make sure to carefully/gently dry the area with a clean towel or rag.

I also changed my soap. I used to use irish spring.. which is a great soap. But I switched to Kirks Castile bar soap. Not only does the soap have super simple/clean ingredients, its also a VERY good soap. No scrubbing required.. lather up, wait a couple of minutes to let the soap work and built up dead skin will rinse off like nothing leaving you squeaky clean. Its very impressive soap. I dont use a loofa at all anymore. Most cost effective place I've found to buy the soap is walmart, it's like $4.98 for 4 bars.

Its also true that your diet plays a big role in the issue of anal itching as well. Sugar and caffeine seemed to be the biggest culprits for me. I love my morning coffee and really didnt want to cut back or give it up. Im happy to report that with the bidet Im itch free despite consuming the same amount of coffee as I always have.

Thanks for reading!

Yes this works. You can use a squeeze bottle filled with water also, and use that after using toilet paper (or instead of paper, or just use the paper to dry up). Also a long hot bath will help too when it really acts up.

This addresses the topical irritation caused by dysbiosis (bad gut flora). However since the root cause is in the gut / flora this can also be addressed by using 8+ strain probiotics; avoiding sucrose - especially at night; and also by getting both more rest AND exercise. Addressing the symptom is fine, but getting to the root cause is even better.

This one isn't electric and it works great. I bought it on sale at Amazon for $79. The first week the water seemed a little cold and it was summer time. (My daughter said it gave her frost bite. ) I got used to it being cold and it doesn't bother me at all even in the winter time during zero weather. The water to the bidet stays in the waterline in the bathroom and the chill dissipates between uses. I have used it and it didn't bother me.

I have a range of motion problem, so it was very hard to wipe, I had to lay down to clean myself and it would take at least 10 minutes 4 times a day. I get cleaner with the bidet. I sometimes use a hand held bidet with warm water and hand lotion or oil in it to rinse after I have used the stool bidet. The company offers a hand held bidet with the toilet bidet sometimes. A hand held is good when you are away from home but the toilet bidet is a lot better.
