I use prescription nifedipine or rectiv(this one does cause a bad headache quickly but over time with more use this lessens) for anal fissures. Both creams are not cheap. Nifedipine is a compound and has to be mixed at the pharmacy and not all pharmacies do this and it is about a 60 copay for me and rectiv is about 120 copay (all depends on your insurance). I have tried tons of different creams when I am sore to no end, but these two work the best to heal the cuts. Also, lots of warm sitz baths also help ease the pain. You can also get a prescription cream that can numb the pain in the anal area. No fun I now. If you really need something fast, A and D ointment does help ease the pain a bit. Hope you feel better.
Been suffering similar butt issues and would appreciate any suggestions. When going to the toilet to empty my S Pouch it is like passing glass!When I saw my consultant he gave me a steroid cream -Dernovate- to use for two weeks, but this also caused the skin around the area to feel as though it was burning! I also have what I call 'ridges' around the area, so something isn't right! My diet hasn't changed so its not food related. And the itch is hellish!!! After applying the Coloplast Barrier Cream the skin sweats and the itching becomes intolerable. I am going to research what natural remedies are available, one such remedy involves mixing Slippery Elm Powder with Vitamin E Cream; so will give this a try.
