I presume the above two comments are trolling. I'm also concerned about the use of "the swamps" in the opening description - is this someone's attempt to be funny? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.222.103.179 (talk) 18:51, 4 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I had pruritus ani and my doctor recommended an old treatment using gentian violet. He applied it around the perianal area and inside and it was cured after one treatment. I had tried everything including washing the area, using baby wipes, changing my diet, changing my soap and none of this cured the condition....it just managed it. One treatment of gentian violet cured everything!!! I am so thankful for him knowing about this treatment, because no one else did. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.175.79.60 (talk) 01:31, 14 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Rewriting of "causes"

A lot of factual and language errors with frequent "peacock" writing. Other paragraphs are untouched because of too much redactional work required. MD intrested in proctologi.~ jmak (talk) 07:49, 19 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
