Been losing my sanity over my itchy rectum for about 9 months now. My dermatologist said it might be Pruritus Ani, but he didn't sound like he knew much about it or how to make it go away...There is this Pranicure ointment that continually comes up when searching online for Pruritus Ani, so I'm wondering if anyone has heard of this or tried it? The reviews on the site seem too good to be true, but at the same time they sound genuine...who would make something about having an insanely itchy butt?! I'm getting desperate here and will probably give it a shot either way cuz I can't even get through a 30-min meeting at work without scratching my ass! Thoughts? Similar experiences? Does Pranicure actually work??
My dermatologist was the same way! Like you, I was going crazy and was really disappointed at the lack of knowledge about pruritus ani. I've been using Pranicure for a couple of weeks and without a doubt it's the best thing I've found to stop the itch. We will see if it actually cures my condition, but I feel as if I've already made progress. Hope this helps!
This is far more common than people know, and most likely there is nothing wrong with you. It's called Pruritus Ani and is usually caused by the continual rubbing with toilet paper that irritates the sensitive skin and removes the bodies natural oils that it needs. The harder you wipe the more you itch and then you scratch and it becomes a vicious cycle. You need to clean with water, no soap, and the best way to do that is with a Hand Bidet Sprayer. The itch will go away and stay away. See ***edited by moderator*** web addresses not allowed.
