Pruritus ani.  I Googled it to make sure I had everything spelled right.  The first thing that came up was "pruritus ani = itchy butt".  Got a good laugh out of that.  I think one of my dogs has that problem.   Wink

My GI docs have been prescribing this for years for pruritus ani...it is compounded by a local pharmacy and NOT used to keep unruly school children in place.
