Embarrassing medical problem

My butt is itchy. REALLY itchy. It's not a case of wiping better, as it's my butt cheeks that cause the problem. I'm too embarrassed to visit a doctor, is there anything I could buy from a chemist? Its actually preventing me from my work at this point

I recommend Aloe Vera for just about any skin ailment. If you know of an aloe plant growing anywhere then just break off a leaf. Squeeze the juice out of the leaf and apply it. Failing that try to buy the purest form of Aloe Vera that you can and use that. I pretty much guarantee that it stops itchiness within minutes. I've never used it on my butt but it should be fine.

I'm in S.Florida and grow the aloe to give away. It's also good for hair. When my aloe is RIPE I open my blog on free-cycle groups and give away these plants. Mine are home grown. They are shorter than those sold in stores.
Aloe has an extra reason to keep on hand. Lets say you fertilized an area too much. The Aloe cleans the ground. Aloe is okay to swallow, or to use as an ointment. Better known to keep in a kitchen for burns. Wonders for Sunburn.
