For Anal Itching "I am researching the prescription-strength suppository, but I am having no luck on this site. I had the Rx but ran out. By the way, it is much better than the OTC variety. Also, I need it for itching or irritation, post-radiation therapy, not hemorrhoids, but there seems to be no category for that."

For Proctitis "The suppositories were a game changer for me starting in 2022. Terrible rectal pain. The suppositories rescued me. Cut to 2025: I agree, also, with those who could not tolerate the initial discomfort or found they stimulated bowel movements. I recently had that experience with a bad case of proctitis. On fire inside. But I went back to them after others, like Baclofen, failed. I endured one stingy day, and then the stuff started knocking down the pain and inflammation. There's nothing close."

"Sometimes I use too many tissues and rub my nose raw. Some mornings I go to the sink or shower and use my hand in running water. The underside of my nose is sometimes raw-feeling. A tiny, tiny smear on the underside. I can barely smell it. One dose lasts a good 6 hours of regular 1%. I would recommend it for friction burns or something like that, for sure!"

For Psoriasis "Received the prescription, removed the cap on the tube, reversed the same, and screwed it back on to pierce the tin foil. But the cream will not eject yet looks open. Reached the costs from $1.29 to $4.00 depending on where purchased. I therefore cannot provide benefits."

Hydrocortisone topical for Pruritus "I suffer from pruritus, a side effect of oxycodone. Cortizone cream is very effective. Stops itching immediately, with no unpleasant odor, and is instantly absorbed into the skin. Hope this helps."
