Got haemorroids while on holiday in
Lanzarote. Went to a chemist who gave me
some ointment and while they are 90%
better I now have a horrendous itch over
an area about 2 inches either side of my
bumhole.(It liks quite red)
Because of the heat ( about 35 to 40
degrees) I think the ointment spread over
a larger area than intended. Has this
dried my skin out and caused the itch?
I have stopped using the ointment and am
now using savlon or vaseline to ease the
itch but it is driving me mad.
Help please.

Clean the area with straight water, no
toilet paper. Rinse the area liberally
with water and then towel dry.

Synalar Rectal cream Posted: 06-18-08 07:40am
Might also be worth shaving off any hair
around the anus. I found this helped to
keep it clean and less itchy.
Just a bit of feedback regarding the
creams for itchy piles. The cream
Scheriproct didn't work well neither did
the Ultraproct which was a doctor's
alternative for the Synalar Rectal. I
applied them them daily externally but the
itching continues with both creams. I am
not sure if they have any effect at all.
So I obtained Synalar Rectal Simple from
the Internet and after one application
externally there has been no itching for
several days. That is how I remember it
working, just one infrequent application
is enough for days or even a week or
more.
Not sure what the difference is but the
Synalar main ingredient listed in big
letters on the tube is Fluocinolone
acetonide which is not present in either
the Ultraproct alternative nor the
Scheriproct.
