@fdixon63 Hi, I have just seen your message and have had the same problem since my teenage years as well. Not sure if this will work for everyone but it has been helping me with reducing my extensive scarring and itch..firstly I seen a naturopath and she recommended a probiotic and sea moss to help remove the inflammation from inside the body. After trying a ton of creams and potions meant to heal it and reading all the forums I have found a cheap method of my own combo that is helping secondly..it is using candula cream, bio-oil and I know it sounds weird but a perianal spray (after labour spray) to remove the itch which has been a game changer for me. As I said, it is helping me but is just a possibility for others and can't guarantee the same will happen
