I'm really going through it at the moment "down there".. on the back of my previous post about Replens I wanted to ask about treatment for piles, or at least that is what I think it is.
I got in a mess a few weeks ago.. went to the docs as I was bleeding when I had a bowel movement. She didn't seem all that bothered. She had a look and said I had one small pile.
I told her I had been using anusol and said to carry on. Well, I did that and ended up terribly itchy and sore with the pile getting a lot worse.
I was at my wits end and tried all sorts of things thinking the problem was getting worse... then I did some research and found people can be allergic to anusol... so I stopped using it and just used Aloe Gel which soothed the itching and the pile has now shrunk down to what it used to be like and I am much less sore and itchy.. but I am woken every night with the itch. I go put some aloe gel on it and it calms down again.
I am wondering if I now need to find a replacement to the anusol but I am worried I will have the same reaction to stuff like preparation H and germiloids.
Has anyone else had this reaction to anusol and what have you used instead?
Thanks heaps again...
