Dr. Eric Kaplan answered

Specializes in Colon and Rectal Surgery

Tingling or itching: Can be from pruritis ani which is most often caused by excessive caffeine and/or moisture and classically wakes one from their sleep with itching. Eliminate all caffeine, beer and keep the area dry with corn starch powder and this should go away.
