Pruritus ani: It has a name but may require casting around for a cure. Try meticulous hygiene with wet wipes, even between movements. Cortisone creams may help. After that see a dermatologist or a knowledgable FP. It could be just the result of healing and require time.

Normal: Anusol-HC may help. Shower daily and use Tucks (witch hazel) wipes
