Reddit obviously this is a throwaway. 

So ten years or so ago I woke up in my college dorm room with an itchy behind. Nothing unusual you might think, happens to most of us. And I'm a clean guy - so I thought that a quick shower and a sprinkle of baby powder would put that butt-itch to bed. Nope.

It continued to itch for a couple of days and so I bit the bullet and decided to go and see a doctor. After looking at my imperfect posterior the doc said that some how the area around my butt hole had become inflamed, and recommended that I apply Daktacort (a hydrocortisone) twice daily for 6 days and the problem should go away.

At first it seemed to do the trick. I could sleep and wasn't scratching. But this sweet relief was short lived. After a couple of weeks the itching returned with renewed intensity; it now felt as though whatever this was had an agenda. It wanted me to scratch and it wanted to keep me awake.

If anyone has ever had a chronic itch you will know what I mean by this. It is absolute misery. You can't sleep, you can't relax, you can't help but scratch - even though you know that you are more than likely spreading whatever it is that you have. 

So I've visited multiple doctors over the years, tried multiple different treatments, de-wormed myself, used non-scented shower products and soaps, used talcum powder, cornstarch powder, white vinegar, shaved my ass, grown my ass hair, used wet wipes, moved to a different country, changed my diet, cut out spicy foods, cut out dairy foods - and yet the problem persists. It disappears for a while, but always, always returns.

Reddit, sincerely, help a brother out.
<bot>: My ass started to itch whilst I was at college and despite various treatments continues to feel like a thousand fiery ants are parading on my pooper.
