You can often do simple things yourself to ease an itchy bottom (anus). Get medical help if the itching does not stop.

WHEN TO SEE YOUR DOCTOR ABOUT AN ITCHY BOTTOM:

you have an itchy bottom that is not going away
the itch keeps coming back
you have pain in your bottom
you have blood in your poo, which might be dark red or black
you're bleeding or leaking liquid from your bottom
you've noticed a change in your bowel habits
you have an itchy bottom and feel itchy on other parts of your body
you notice a change around your anus that is not usual for you

CAUSES OF AN ITCHY BOTTOM

There's not always a clear cause of an itchy bottom. If it gets better quickly, it might have been caused by something that does not need treatment, like sweating a lot in hot weather.

If it lasts longer, you might be able to get an idea of the cause from any other symptoms you have. See a doctor if you're worried or if your symptoms keep coming back.

Other causes include: Threadworm / pinworms; Piles (haemorrhoids); Poo leaking or pooing you cannot control; Diarrhoea or bowel incontinence; Sores, swelling or irritation; fungal infection or a sexually transmitted infection (STI); eczema or psoriasis
