Pruritus ani is when your bum hole feels itchy and scratchy, and you feel like scratching it all the time.
It can happen to anyone, even little kids!
There are many reasons why it can happen, like not wiping properly after going to the toilet, having diarrhea, or wearing tight clothes that make you sweat.
But don't worry, there are some things that can help make it go away.
You should always make sure you wipe your bottom properly after going to the toilet, and try to keep the area clean and dry. You can also try using a bottom cream that helps soothe the itchiness and reduce inflammation.
If the itchiness doesn't go away, it's always best to talk to your doctor, who might prescribe a special cream or ointment to help you feel better.
Remember, it's important to always take care of your body, even your bum hole!
