Has anyone else tried Hydrocortisone 2.5% Rectal Cream for hemorrhoids? Worth it or not? I have concerns after reading about the possible side effects.
I've been dealing with hemorrhoids for a while now, and my doctor prescribed Hydrocortisone 2.5% Rectal Cream. I've read the potential side effects, and I'm a bit nervous. Has anyone else tried this? What was your experience like? I'd really appreciate some insights before I start using it. I've read about thinning skin, but I am unsure if it is a common side effect or just a precautionary warning.
I used a similar cream for my hemorrhoids and it cleared up in a few days. I did have some tingling and dryness that made me uncomfortable but it went away after a day or so. If you experience anything uncomfortable for a while then consult a doctor.
I don't know about this. I heard horrible stories about this causing bone pain, skin issues and even severe headaches. I don't know if it's related to this cream, but I feel like people should be careful.
I’ve had a similar experience. Make sure to apply it exactly as directed and give it a few days to work. If it doesn’t start to help after a week or so, you may want to check in with your doctor.
I've had hemorrhoids before and I did a lot of research on this cream. In general, it is rare for people to have side effects. Most side effects are minor and go away after a few days
