Presribed a dozen different ointments, changed my diet, etc.  I am now (8/09) free from pruitis ani.  The cure?  Wet wipes after a bowel movement (fragrance free) and bactine spray.  Yes--bactine after every poo.  It doesn't sting--feels a little cold, but hey---it works.  If you try these two simple steps after each bm i swear you'll never again want to scratch your bum till it bleeds!    skigirl68 Mon, 10 Aug 2009 00:00:00 GMT It,s been 2 years now since remission,for the past year i've been putting up with this rectal itching or pruritus ani,or whatever they call it,been seeing doctors,followed their instructions,used prescription and non-prescription oinment nothing seems to work,it only makes it worse,would like to know if any fellow members are experiencing this problem,and what they are doing for relief Vinnie Mon, 15 Sep 2008 00:00:00 GMT
