 Hi Starwarsagent1122,
The perfumed wash may be contributing to the itching. It is also possible that you have an area of eczema or psoriasis that is affecting this skin. (This would be pretty rare but possible.)
Another common cause of perianal itching is pinworms. The worms themselves can be very difficult to spot. They typically are visible more at night and are quite small.
Because of the variety of possible causes, recommending a treatment is simply not possible without an examination. I would recommend you discuss your symptoms with your doctor. It is quite likely that there is a treatment to help you.
Best wishes.
