Answer 2

What to do ?

It's hard to say as you don't describe the "how,where, when or why" of the itching.

Itching can occur for all the same reasons on your butt as elsewhere on your body, but one is more conscious of butt irritations. The origins can be many-fold and don't necessarily result from poor hygiene or sexual involvement.

Acne, ingrown hairs, moisture build-up from perspiration or minor flatulence, rashes from environmental contact (allergy inducing clothing or retaining detergents, content or composition of seating)  are common.

Muscle tone tics occur throughout the body. Eyes, arms, legs, torso, scalp: maybe it is your butt's turn.

Residue from -- or over-zealous application of -- harsh, ineffectual toilet paper can create irritations, rashes or minor bleeding.

Livestock infestations like "crabs" or "nits" (pubic lice) or tapeworms may be possible. These can occur despite rigorous hygiene and lack of sexual contact.

The first step is to identify the origin of irritation .

Use a mirror.

Wash thoroughly but gently.

Apply topical remedies based on assessment of cause.

If problems persist see a doctor: you'll be better able to inform them following the above steps (which they will advise you to take anyway),

Answer 3

one WASH IT. Second, you may have some kind of contact allergy and in the summer with the hot weather, things get even worse. I would recommend buy a kind of talc with the name ANTI MONKEYS BUTT. It works  wonders.

Answer 5

A friend of mine's kids came down with pinworms, which have the symptoms of intense rectal itching, and are easily treated.

This can be one cause of your problem, there are others.
