Sorry guys... my mate told me he woke up with an itchy bum hole this morning about 1cm in and had to scratch it with a cotton bud... at first i laughed then thought that it may be something more serious. He's only 30 and never had any kind of problems or std's before.
Also, he says it only happens now and again but it drives him nuts. It only lasts for about 10 mins or so but comes and goes.
I thought it may be sweat but he gets a shower every morning so he's not dirty.
tell him whatever he does not to break the skin, as any laceration or hair pulling out in that region, usually ends up with a sore that when it bursts has to be kept open and healed from the inside. I have seen two people in their bed with eyeballs rolling in pain because of it.
