Anal Itching

I posted this comment a few days ago in a different thread.  I am reposting so it does not get buried.  I know that what to do about anal itching comes up often.  Try a hydrocortisone creme.  I like this one:  Walgreens Hydrocortisone 1% Intensive Healing, which has extras like vitamins, chamomile and anti-oxidants.  It is used for anal itching as well as other skin irritations.  The directions are on the tube.  And, it works!
