You are not alone !

Anusol all the way! Suppositories are the best but the cream that can be used internally is almost as good! Check with the GP first. I rang the out of hours GP and she gave me ansuol on prescription and I picked it up in an hour. Warm baths, ice pack with a cover on and witch hazel externally also really help x

I agree - Scheriproct worked for me but while I was waiting for the prescription witch hazel worked a treat. So did aloe Vera gel. Swear by it!

If you deliver vaginally they will get a million times worse with the pushing stage. ☹️😭 So get loads of stuff in now. Tell your midwife and get suppositories and cream so you can shrink them now and have stuff already to treat them after delivery.

Also be aware that they don't disappear if you don't shrink them now, but you end up (as I have and all my friends as no one ever told us this) with large hanging skin tags where they once were that never go away. So my advice is get rid now while you have the chance.

Yes, Scheriproct comes as suppositories and cream.
