The sun's ultraviolet light can help prevent and relieve itching and other irritations in the anal area and dry the skin. As with more modest forms of sun worshipping, you should always apply a sunscreen to exposed skin and build up your time in the sun gradually. Believe it or not, if you feel anxious or are under a lot of stress, you may develop an itchy anus. Relieving your stress through yoga, progressive relaxation or exercise might end your scratching. Wash, don't wipe.
Good hygiene is crucial to preventing anal itching.
If possible, after each bowel movement wash your anus with a soft cloth dipped in warm water and mild soap. Go for the plain paper. You don't want anything like perfumes in those papers that may irritate the skin. If you suspect that you have a medical problem, please seek competent medical care.
