Try leaving out the milk and see what happens; you may have an intolerance there. Some digestive enzymes might also be beneficial. My sister gets anal itching from stress, but the area also needs to be kept very clean and dry; cotton underwear helps. Hope this helps.

I hate to say this but you might have what they call pin worms....its a parasite and contagious., but not dangerous..usually childreb get  them easily and then an adult could be infected...but the usual symptom is anal itching at night....you should chck with your doctor and if your ositive and have children you should check them also...you can look it up on the web.... good luck
