Any advice

Just wondering what does anyone use when their bottom is very sore and itchy?

Doctor says it isn’t piles but just the symptoms of ibs.He gave me some Trimovate cream but it isn’t working yet.Is there anything that other sufferers can recommend?Im pretty desperate and feeling very very low.

I would think sudocrem would help.

ThanksMaureen for your advice.I usually do use sudocream but it didn’t seem to be helping.Ive been recommended sudosalve as well.Apparently it’s new so I’ve ordered some.Its a nightmare isn’t it?x

Had the same problem. Doctor said it wasn’t piles but lo and behold a few months later I had bleeding piles!They’ve gone away now but I still use anusol for soreness and itching. It’s worked wonders for me.

I have a big dog and walk a lot so I need to be comfortable!!

Urgh I know that maddening itch. I second the Anusol recommendation in the other post.Also, I tried to make sure the crack was dry as much as possible after washing, but avoided a rough towel. Use one of those travel/smooth towels or even an old t-shirt, pat dry (not rough on the skin), then air-dry as long as possible. Going commando under a skirt for a hour or so :)

I agree with Maureen sudocream does work I use it regular and so does anosol

Hi BlueDevonI am with you on this one🤦‍♀️

Ive tried Everything!!!

A few weeks ago i went to Boots & spoke to the pharmacist

He gave me a NEW SUDOCREM called 'SUDOSALVE' its antiseptic & antibacterial, i think its much better

Give it a go

You can get it on Amason

I use it for the area around as it gets sore

Like most have said Anusol ointment for inside

Plus keeping the area dry which isnt EASY😒

Its just HELL isnt it..
