there are many things that can cause an itchy anal area so your first step is to be properly examined and diagnosed. not wiping carefully after a bowel movement can result in irritation and this irritation can itch. soap residuals after bathing laundry detergents or perfumed dryer softener sheets can cause a chemical reaction around the anus. minor skin infections or anal fissures (tiny cracks in the skin) can itch. and finally if you have close association with children pinworms are notorious for causing an itchy bottom. pinworms typically come out at night. each of these would have an individual treatment so having a correct diagnosis first is essential even if you are not enthusiastic about having your medical provider examine this area.
