Is it bad to scratch my rear if no bathroom nearby?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Scratching can be so comforting although most would try to hide a little so scratching of an intimate place is not a public event. If you have a persistent itch, especially with some bleeding, you might need to have your doctor evaluate this.
