Haemorrhoids and Piles
| Haemorrhoids (also known as piles) is a condition where the blood vessels in and around the anus become swollen and inflamed. Creams and suppositories that contain anaesthetic can help to ease your pain, and soothe burning or itchy skin. However, these creams should only be used over a short period of time, for example for no longer than seven days. If anaesthetic creams and suppositories are used over a longer length of time, they can irritate your skin further. Other creams suppositories relieve irritation around your anus contain ; bismuth oxide, peru balsam, zinc oxide and witch-hazel (eg anusol). Creams and suppositories containing steroids can also be prescribed to reduce inflammation and swelling around your anus. These should not be used for longer than a week. |
