You could have an infection of some kind, so I'd have a doctor take a look at it... It could also be heat-rash or any other kind of rash. It could be athlete's foot.

For now, dusting some baby powder in there once you're completely dry may help, OR do the opposite and put lotion in there. It all depends on what's causing the itching. You may need to try one for a week and see if it helps, and then try the other.

oooh this is so annoying when this happens... make sure you are doing a great job wiping after using the bathroom. i find that i have the same problem when i get sweaty there or dont keep it dry down there.

when you say your crack, do you mean your actual anus? it could be hemerrhoids (spelling). a lot of people have these and they can often itch!!!

or you could have pin worms. I know it's gross but they're little worms that crawl around in your buthole and lay eggs. I've had them before and all you need is antibiotics.

My daughter keeps saying her butt is too dry and has to wipe her butt with a baby wipe or she will put water on tp. when its what she calls dry she cant sit still it bothers her so much, that she cant sit still. dose any one have that problem.the dr has no idea what it is.

Folks,
Before you get too far into what this could be, I would suggest, from personal experience, that you go to the local pharmacy and get a tube of Hyrdrocortizone cream. Apply this twice a day, morning and before bedtime and after about 5 - 6 days this will go away.

Yes Hydrocortizone 1% cream,it will relieve the itching.

My butt has been nearly driving me craze, until last week. I took a shower Tuesday AM and made sure I was very clean and kind of pulled at the hairs at the end of the shower. I dried well and had no BM all day and at 4 AM Wednesday I awoke with the very itchy butt. This all seemed to begin after I used baby wipes for several weeks after a surgery 1 ½ or 2 inches from the anis. After three weeks the baby wipes had left that whole area raw, parched. Once the itching began I suspected that I was not clean enough after a BM and at times I suspected pin worms, but last week I was sure it was not a �dirty� problem and started wondering if it was a fungus. (Also, I had noticed when I itched the upper part of my clean butt crack that it had an odor, it had �the bad smell�, not strong, and a sweet smell.) after reading several forums I decided to try some �Desenex� but while in the bathroom I saw the �polysporin� the dermatologist told me to use after he burned some pre-cancer off me. It�s a cream and I applied limberly and within 2 hours I was getting relief and within a day it was all but gone and now after 6 days I no longer have ITCHY BUTT.

I get an itchy butt on my cheeks every night when I put on my pajamas. I thought I was allergic to a certain fabric or even detergent, but I've switched and no change. It is ONLY at night-either when I change (though I change underwear in the morning after shower) or when I get into bed. Anyone know why and what I should do?

use rubbing alcohol it burns really badly but it helps- happened to me awhile ago- looked on the internet and someone said to do that on another website and it helped- then u can use benadryl or cortizone to soothe the INCREDIBLE burning i guess- but the alcohol is where it's at, ladies- seconds of pain for ultimate relief- go for it! weird issue though i know, hopefully not pinworms! if it happened after you took a huge dump it may be hemeroids so look into some preparation h..listen to me i sound butt expert here! i cured it so can you!
